Default Bumper tow hook access ?

I happen to notice the small square access panel on passenger side of rear bumper pushed in in one side. Not sure how it happened or if I overlooked it?
I got under car but it looked like that panel is blocked by frame.
Does anyone have a suggestions on how to kill/push the one side back out flush to match the other. ? Now that I've seen it jumps out and bothers me, not to mention if it ever fell out

Owner's manual says to "Press inward strongly on the left side of the cap to remove..." If it's pressed inward on that left side, then perhaps pressing in the opposite (right hand) side will do the trick (?).

Thanks I'll try pushing harder. It looks like right side is flush though and not sticking out any. It's hard to believe it's not something simple. I'll check manual too
