Knee Bolster

I was opening the knee bolster underneath the steering wheel so I could access the radio and plug in an AUX adapter when it popped off the hinges. I can’t seem to find any good way to install it back in. Any tips? Thanks you!

Just brute force. It feels like it's gonna break, but will snap in.
