It should be a fairly simple repair. I did the same thing- parked over one of those curbs held in place by a spike, the car settled so the tip of the spike caught the bumper. Like a dumbass, I didn't stop when I heard a scrape. My mishap looked worse. The entire right side if the bumper was hanging off the car, all but the two left sensors were pulled off. Took it to the dealer, got referred to the body shop in case I needed to make an insurance claim. Body shop manager said let me get a tech to look at it. About 20 minutes later it was fixed. They just had to contact cement a couple of the sensor mounts back in place and snap it back in all the correct locations. I went to pay and he said "No charge". Made my day.
Sorry again, (now I'm off the tablet). The bumper flexes and then slide into the lock position. I couldn't get it right because there were other locations along the bottom the were unspapped as well. After the whole experience the design makes sense to me- let the bumper flex enough that it comes loose without ripping any of the fasteners or bending any metal. Needless to say, I learned my lesson to be careful where I park.
