Default Clips for HVAC panel

I haven't been able to figure this out by searching.

When I installed my grom unit, one of the clips from the AC unit fell while I was taking it out. I have to open it back up again when I go to remove the NAV unit so I'd like to replace it then.

I tried to figure it out on lexuspartsnow, but I can't seem to find it:

Does anyone have a part number for these clips?
Here's what they look like (they're metal, not plastic):

I ordered that on ebay but it's coming from singapore so they're estimating a december delivery, lol.

question, are they the same clips on the rear trim panel in the trunk?

Part #9046805060

I didn't get that close a look to see if they're the same.

The clips on the back of my A/C control head are different, but mine is a 2002. May have changed for the 06 and later refresh. Lost one of the clips (see green arrows below) when I did my install years ago and had the same issue. But it has not been a problem at all as there are five other clips holding the unit in place.

hah! that's the exact same clip I lost (same location)! It's held in fine with 5 like you said, I just figured as a matter of good housekeeping I would replace it next time I open up the dash.
