FWIW, my '17 BRZ had missing plastic push plugs along the bottom of the rear bumper just in back of the rear tires, both sides. Pointed it out to my shop when I had them align the car & they said they see things like all the time on new cars. I think they were fasteners for the trailing edge of the wheel well cover & bumper. Just google automotive plastic trim fasteners and you'll be able to buy about 10 million of them, also the metal retainers are common items. As to your panel gap, I'm not sure it's excessive or related to that fastener. Taking off the bumper is overthinking things, IMO.
