Default Front emblem loose. How to tighten?

So I took off the front lisence plate thing, and for the time being, polished the bolts that held it on, painted them black, and put them back in just to plug the holes.
After doing that, I took her to a carwash for a bath, and noticed that now my front dodge emblem is loose. I can pull it back to where I can fit the tip of my finger behind it, but it wouldn't pop off. I popped the hood and I couldn't see any easy way to get to the back of it to tighten it down (granted I was pressed for time and it was dark).
Anyone know how to tighten this thing up? I don't want to lose it!

Ah, figures. Yeah, hopefully darth will know. If worst comes to worst, I could always pull it off and reattach it with some epoxy or something.

It's actually 2 pieces. The chrome piece snaps onto the black piece behind it, which in turn, snaps into the bumper cover. You can pop it off, gently, and see if one of the tabs broke...

I'll give it a shot when I get off in the morning, or when I wake up later today. I'll let you know how it goes.
