doesnt look like the clip is gone, looks like the part that's suppose to hold the passenger side switch is ripped.

Just remember when glueing stuff it may rip the vinyl if you ever have to replace it or paint it! I know from experience.

Listen to the cheeeze....
Map pocket can be unscrewed from the door panel. After that, get some ABS plastic cement and fix whole pocket. Reinforce usual week spots some kind of backing. Restore tab that broke off from switch openings, cut it out from aluminum sheet-metal or whatever else you like

Fix it or replace it, you're looking for a third option of some Magic Beans maybe?
