Exclamation I need a name for the plastic piece that holds the parking sensor

Greetings, I backed into a pole in my 1997 S500 (Ouch) not too much damage to the rear bumper other than the center chrome molding strip got peeled back and the parking sensor fell into the hole in the bumper. I have been looking everywhere for whatever they call the plastic housing that holds the sensor in place. It seems that every bumper for sale does not have parking sensors (?). I dont think its aftermarket and I thought they all came with parking sensors after a certain year. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Parktronic was standard in 1997, since you are located in CA, this seller may be of use as he has a beat up C140 bumper that has the clips

This is the piece I am looking for it is the outside housing part of the sensor. In all the pictures of the sensor this piece does not look like it comes with the sensor. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
