Loose Window/Lock Button Panel in Door

I just completed the window lift motor replacement via the shoebox instructions for my fourth gen camaro, which all went well (happened to change out my blown monsoon speaker when I was in there). However, upon reassembly of the door panel, I noticed that the little control panel thing where the window/lock buttons are is very loose. It rocks back and forth and is not held in all the way. This happens because the wires to the window buttons are pushing up on the bottom of the panel. They are tucked in as good as I can get them. The panel was a little loose before, but now it is very loose. Does any one know how to fix this or where to get a direct replacement?

And while I'm posting...I noticed that the fade/balance ***** on my stock head unit are cracked...not that it matters but it bothers me now that I know. Any where to get a cheap replacement for those as well?

Thanks in advance.

Just did a window motor replacement and noticed the same thing. I took a pair of needle nose pliers and and bend the retaining clips outward, so when the control module snapped into place, it held tighter against the door panel. Now it's snug. Problem solved.
