Front bumper help

I let someone drive the car and they put it onto a curb/sidewalk while leaving the parking space (that wasn't reverse!). Backing the car off the curb seemed to pull the bumper (scrape, pop).

There doesn't appear to be any damage other than scraping of the rubber bit below the bumper, but it pulled the right side of the bumper cover away a bit and broke one of the fasteners where it attaches to the fender liner (looks like a screw) - it is missing.

On the top it appears that there are some clips (white plastic underneath/behind bumper) and corresponding holes/slots in the bumper, and I was able to pop those back into place. None of the material seems to be torn or broken anywhere.

I just want to make sure the thing is properly fastened. I know I have to obtain a new screw/clip for the fender liner attachment, but is there anything I need to inspect further to make sure attachment is correct? Anything else that can be damaged?

Thanks a bunch.
 
I have the same problem, and other then the bumper coming off by the fender once in a while, its fine.
