Default ES300h loose tailpipe heatshield?

Hey all, hope everyone is having a great holiday!

After running some errands today, as I was walking up to my car, since it was parked on a bit of a ramp today, I was able to see that something was hanging a bit on the underside of the car.
After I parked it in garage, I realized it was a piece of the exhaust heatshield hanging a bit...I can see how it's attached by something on the top left corner, but nowhere else. I can push it up to the point where it sits flush with the rest of the underside easily using my hand, but it obviously doesn't stay there.
I don't see any obvious points of attachments either like I do on the piece in front of it, and I don't see how anything like a screw or clip can fail on a car with less than 1k miles and around 1 month old if it was supposed to be there. So I'm wondering if it is like this on everyone's hybrid? It does not rattle or vibrate, which is why I never noticed until today. Trying to know if this is something I need to find time and head to the dealer for in the near future...

Thanks!
