2007 S550 Lorinser Front Tow Eye Hook Cover Issue

Hello guys/gals, and thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out here.

I have a 2007 S550 with the whole Lorinser body package (Front bumper being part of that)

Recently my front bumper tow eye hook cover was stolen, and I have gone through 2 other ones that have not seated properly into the 2 clips on the top. (Both times the 2 top clips just break off and dont even hook in)
See Attached Image:



Here is a pic of my front bumper:




I am wondering if this is caused by:

A) made in taiwan garbage
(Both of the ones i ordered to replace the stolen one were made in TW i.e. Discountbodyparts, Amazon etc)

or

B) the fitment isn't perfect being it's an aftermarket Lorinser Front Bumper.

Either way I'm having a terrible time here, and would love if anyone has some insight. I cannot seem to find anywhere to order directly from Lorinser either (IN case the fitment is slightly off)

Any help greatly appreciated!

Mine fell off my GL at a car wash. Didn't notice until I got home. OEM at the dealership (painted correct color) was something like $30 and it was rock solid. I would try that first, before trying another cheap online one.
