Posting some pics in case helpful to anyone doing this. Recently bought the car and noticed the side skirt / rocker panel wasn't fitting properly at the back of the door and along the door line. Turned out one broken clip and a bad install where one part of the skirt wasn't even on the trim.
Removed it today and sharing pics so you can see where the clips are. In my case I need to replace the black clip (part 390 in last picture) as it was broken at the top right (it connects at top right and bottom left). I have also ordered a few of the other clips in case they break coming off the body (I reinstalled it while waiting for the new parts). I was able to get the part 350 clips off (see parts diag photo) without breaking but the part 360 clips seem a bit loose fitting after reinstall so I have ordered them too.
Holding it on underneath (and all need to be removed before unclipping the panel from the body) were 4x10mm plastic nuts (visible without removing the undertray), 3 round disc ~ 1" round (have a coin slot in them, rotate 90 deg to remove, (part 310) - these were under the edge of the undertray but possible to remove by flexing the tray, finally at each end there were 2 each plastic rivets (part 370), same as used for the wheel arch covers.
Not shown in the pictures - just in front of the door, two black clips (part 320 and 340) - these do not need to come off the body and can stay during removal/reinstallation. Black clip (part 390) needs to be removed and installed in skirt for install. Two clips (top right) came off with the side skirt. Shows clips (part 350) in place - these need to be removed and put onto the side skirt in order to install the skirt. Back of skirt (rear), two clips in place (part 360) in bottom right of picture. Back of skirt (front)

Gday, I don’t know the car specifically but likely it’s a clip not quite in place or worn if it’s come off before. Assuming you’ve tried already to push it in place (that’s what I tried and didn’t work), then best approach is to remove the panel and you’ll tell from there. Replacement clips from dealership are pretty cheap. Cheers
