Exterior trunk panel clips

Exterior trunk panel clips
So I have searched for this issue here and elsewhere to no avail. I noticed a few weeks ago that the panel fitment between the license plate and upper Benz emblem had an uneven gap. This weekend, I removed the panel and saw that one of the six clips that held the panel in place was worn causing it to pop loose.
Dealer tells me I have to replace the whole panel,,,bah! I know I can just get the clip somewhere, anyone know where to source them? If any interest, I can do a DIY for this when all is done. I have noticed 2 other cars with same issue. If I am just a bonehead and this info has already been covered, please point me to it. Thanks

I've ordered fasteners from these guys before. Perhaps they'll have something that will work:

Just bought an assortment of clips. It will take a month to get them! If they are a match, I will send you some free (you cover shipping) tbal.
I will keep searching for a source that is quicker.
