It's an easy fix, half open the tailgate and get your fingers in and snap off the offending clip. Close the tailgate and put a heavy weight on the top centre of the bumper and leave car in the sun for a few hours and it will be flat again. Simples!
Sadly sounds like my actual entire clip rail is broken. Visually there is only a little bulge where I'm guessing the impact was but I can live with it all just for now can't use tailgate. Will talk to Indy shop to see if they can remediate without the added costs. That's for all the input. I tried to plea the bad design but that's barking up a really large tree
