Default Tailgate vent broken clip. How to fix???

Hello people. I have an issue. I opened the vent from the rear door and I broke a plastic clip. Do you know a method that I can put it back together. I will post some photos aswell.

I doubt anything will fix that. The part can't cost that much to replace. If it stays in place without that clip, I wouldn't even bother

Install the grill as is, and put a little dab of clear silicon seal under that corner to prevent it from rattling. There are two other tabs on that side, correct?

If that didn't work, I'd buy a new grill. Seems like they are about $12 on line.

Yes the other two tabs are there. I will leave as it is then since it stays in place. Thank you!!!
