Rear Camera Loose 2nd attempt with video

While opening the rear hatch, my hand brushed the rear camera and was surprised to feel it was very loose.
I attempted to push it back up to perhaps latch it back into its retainer clip (I'm assuming that's what holds it in place) without success.
Has anyone had this problem? I'm looking for a way to gain access to the mounting apparatus that holds it in place before calling my dealer to have them take care of it... (dealer is a 4 1/2 hour drive away from home)
Anybody out there that knows how to gain access?

cant see the vid on my linux machine...
however; you most likely have to get access to the camera through the tailgate interior panel. it either has to come off or there might be an access plate that you can go through

Looks like the inside panel will have to come off to gain access... I think I'll have the dealer take care of it as the car is on warranty, the next time I'm in Kelowna. I don't want to scratch or maim the panel.
While scouring the forum, looking for answers as to gain access, I came across a thread that said someone stole their back-up camera... I wonder is someone tried to steal mine and broke the retaining tabs or whatever holds it in?
I've also read that it's held in by 2 screws, which may have loosened off....
