Cut them some slack, lol. I took my Camaro door panel off and the same thing happened to my trunk button when I was removing the wire harness clip. I'm not a rookie and have worked on door panels of many cars of the years.
The trunk button bezel and trunk button have tiny fragile little engagement ears that all must be precisely aligned and oriented just so or it all pops out of place or up like what is shown in your picture. It took me 3 tries and several episodes of experimenting until I finally made the button and bezel behave. At one point it was even recessed too far in to the door. Worked on it doing tweaks on and off for a week, until it was perfect again.

And the front SS Emblem with mounting bracket in the grill is an amazing feat to take apart and get all back together and installed. Those assembly line workers must have the patience of a Saint. The worst part is separating the two parts of the SS bracket when removing.
