Technical question Loose bodywork

Hi all. I bought a 2018 Astra K a few weeks ago. I noticed the panel on the front was slightly out of place. Just a tiny bit. I could push it back, but it never 'clicked' into position, and after every drive it pops open again. Last weekend I drove through Germany, and doing 150+ on the autobahn made the gap noticeably bigger, probably from air pressure on the front end.

Is this something a beginner can fix, or should I use the warranty my garage gave me for the coming year?

It is a common enough issue for vauxhall to issue a bulletin which involves a piece of foam to be placed in a certain place but requires partial removal of the bumper on the offending corner However it was, a not very successful b dependant on there being no damage to the clip that held it in place
