Default How do I reattach a dislodged front parking sensor?

The valet at work today rolled my car into a wall. Hopefully just damage to ppf but also knocked my parking sensor out of its housing. Anyone know how to get it back in place? Not sure how those things are attached.

Will answer my own question here- pop off the tow hook cover and push it back into place from behind.

I cannot recount the number of times a valet has damaged my vehicle, mostly curbed wheels. Had a right front wheel curbed at one of Sarasota's finest restaurants last fall. Now I simply refuse to use a valet unless it’s the only option after which I do a walk around with a high intensity flashlight when it’s returned to me.

I never let valets touch my car either. I always just drive past them and park or If it's like a line that you can't get out of roll down my window while staying in my car, and tell them I'll give you $50 if I park it myself right in the front. If they say no I up it to a $100. Most Valets will bend the rules and let me park it in any spot for a $100.

Sorry to bother however the same thing happened to my 2023. I took off tow hook cover but I cannot access. Dealer told me I have to take it to certified Porsche body shop. There is not any damage other than the same as your photo. Any ideas?

They can park a rental, but not my cars.
