just push it down and glue it, maybe some hot glue on the underside of the rubber, tape off the lip first, not a big deal.

The TYPE-S kit has a rubber piece on it to "blend it" into the car unlike the base kit which has curves into the bumper.

check auto zone, they have all kind of auto glues, they even have glue in a spray can, try that, and just wipe off the excess before it dries

You might get away with a thin, thin, thin piece of cut double sided tape, I am not sure.

That would be the "easier" less messier way to do it
