Can't tell for sure, but looks like they're just rotated? Pull them off the trim and put them in their corresponding holes and rotate 90 degrees. Then put the trim back on.

the clear/ white retainers have separated. remove the parts from the trim piece. the trim should only have studs. you need to install new retaining clips

right, the clear/white retaining clips stay (should stay) in the dash.

If the trim is loose when inserted it's the female insert sleeves in the car side. Get new ones for $1.33 a piece. Insert them in the body and then push on trim and enjoy.

They are plastic pieces which are designed to come off. Carefully pry off from trim, place back into plastic molding, and reinsert trim.
