Default This might be a tough one

So this morning a guy rear ends my '08 A6 ... real lightly... super small scratch ... I cut him loose. Get to work and I notice that exhaust pipe on the passenger side now 'sticks out' about a 1/4 inch ... hmmm

I look under the bumper and there's two small blocks on either side of the gas tank that attach to the bumper (keeping it in place) with one small hex screw ... the hex screw is missing on the passenger side so the bumper is 'bending inwards' a touch - not "bent" but the bumper being prefab is now not totally held in it's proper position. The screw is not ripped out or stripped it's just not there.

So my question is: does anybody have any idea what the specs are on that screw ? Yeah I could take the other one out but but I'd like to try and avoid removing anything on a leased car. I've looked on line for bumper specs etc but no luck.

so so iPhone pics below

(note - please no opinions on me letting the kid go ... there's no visible damage and it's not my style to screw folks for the sake of a few bucks)

thanks guys !!
