2012 X6M LF pdc sensor access?

Gents,
Reaching out to see if you can advise me of access to the LF PDC Sensor and mounting? I ran over some stuff in the garage while storing the X6M last night, It flexed the front bumper cover and popped-out the LF pdc sensor from mounting bracket. Can you help by telling me best way to access and re-install or replace PDC bracket, if damaged?
1) Does the bumper cover have to come off or?
2) Remove LF wheel and remove inner wheel vent+ rivets to access??

Please advise?

Thanks in advance!

Fixed

Gents,
today no rain so I raised the car and accessed the LF PDC Sensor from underneath. There are several 8mm screws that I loosened and was able to look inside to see the adhesive became separated from one side of the pdc bracket. I cleaned the area with mineral spirits and applied some double sided 3m tape to re-secure the pdc bracket/sensor assembly to the bumper cover. All good now.
I was lucky, no cosmetic damage.

The grill above the sensor also pops out, just grab around the edges and pull lightly - did this to change mine from silver to black
