Default Help with an interior trim part

Gents, Looking for some help with regards to a part# or solution for a trim related item. The seat buttons housing on my vehicle (
Picture attached) are not secure and pop out whilst getting on and off the seats. They have been this way since I bought the car from the PO. I am looking for some guidance on the part# that will hold the housing securely. To me appears it should just be a plastic trim that the housing latches on to, but I see nothing listed on Jaguar classic cars UK site. I am also open to any other creative solutions to get this item sorted .

Add your interior trim code to the end.

Many thanks for your input King Charles. I will have a closer look at the switch housing in my cars tomorrow morning. To me the housing appears fine, it is simply isn't latching on to the area on the inside. Do I simply need to push them in hard so it can snap and lock on to the inner trim?

The plastic switch retaining receptacle is part of the lower seat cushion foam.

Mine had to be beefed up with clear Gorilla tape around the base of the switch pack, couldn't be seen as it was concealed in the seat but over time the cushion had loosened.

Thanks for your input. I was able to pop the passenger side back in with some maneuvering. I do believe the clips have locked, but will wait and see. Pulled the driver side housing out and one of the clips was broken, ordered a new part and expect to do the instal today or tomorrow to get this nagging issue sorted.
