Use a nylon trim tool to pry the instrument panel left side cover open. Slide the tool along the edge to release all of the retainer clips.
Pull the panel toward the rear of the vehicle to release tabs located behind the rubber weatherstrip along the firewall. Set the panel aside.
In photo 4, you can see the 2 switch/indicator clusters through the opening (marked with red arrows). Reach in to see if you can snap the dislodged cluster back into position.
To re-mount the end panel, first slide the tabs behind the weatherstrip, align the upper retainer clip with its slot, and then swing the panel to the right until all retainers snap back into place.

I had the same thing happen to me once and I couldn't figure out why it fell in. For me, I had no "real" buttons underneath mine, so I was able to reach under and push it back in place. I can only assume my knee did it somehow, but I'm doubtful of that.

Yeah I know my knee never hit mine, but luckily that post was a HUGE help, and literally took me less than 60 seconds to pop the side panel off and push it back it and snap the panel back into place.

Know this is an older post, but also wanted to thank you for posting this. Just happened to my wife's 2016 NX200t. As others states, took 60 seconds to fix using these pics.
