Several threads covering third party solutions, but haven't seen the following yet.
I used some RV non-leveling lap sealant on the five extruding points (not around the edge) and then smudged the screw hole where it squishes through to create a "lock". Then held it on with a budgie around the tow hooks to dry.
Disclaimer that I don't know how well this works, but I am fairly confident it will hold. Also maybe it will discolor the bumper if removed, but probably nothing a nice buffing and restorer can't fix.
One mistake I made was when putting the bungie on and pulling the cord, the plate moved about a 1/4", so make sure the cord doesn't "slide/pull" over the plate.
I also tried 3M tape like Tesla uses but the surface area was too little and it didn't adhere well to the plastic.
