Default Ebay F-Sport replica grill fitment issue

so i need some advice, I purchased an ebay replica fsport grill for my 06 IS, and I am having a slight fitment issue with it. I have included a picture of the grill on the car, and if you look closely, you will see that the right side of the picture, on the bottom of the grill, there is about a 2-3mm gap as opposed to the left hand side which sits perfectly. this is due to a right side tab that hold the grill on the car is not clicking in to place. I have also included a picture of what the tab looks like (not the actual tab that is causing me trouble, it was too hard to get the camera back in there). I need some advice, what should i use to keep the tab in place so the grill will fit in its proper spot without the gap? I have brainstormed it and have not came up with a proper solution. The only thing i have tried is liquid nail on the back of the tab as I am pushing the grill in, and holding it until the liquid nail dried. Problem is, the liquid nail does not really hold on the plastic and the grill will eventually slide back out on the right side. Please help! what would you do to fix the fitment!?

tl;dr one of the clips on my replica grill isn't clicking, how should i secure it to make my grill have a near perfect fit?

I have the same issue but I just left it alone, I would also like to find a solution. I was thinking of just using epoxy to glue them together.

Thats basically what i used, it seems liquid nail really doesnt do the trick like i wanted it to. it seems to break apart. Maybe another glue would be better?
