Replacing taillight bulb

So my first time replacing a one of the 14 rear lightbulbs....read the service manual in how to pull out the entire rear plastic light panel...what a PITA!  On hindsight I probably should have replaced all the bulbs. In any event...after putting the rear panel back together I see paint chips just above the bottom of the panel.  I had wondered why the previous owner had used touch up paint on that area.  Now I know...apparently while removing and having the panel hang there by the safety straps, something rubs against the sheet metal??  I also noticed. that the plastic lens panel now sits about 1/8 inch off center as can be noticed by the plastic offsets over the license plate.  Anybody else notice this???

Old beach towels come in handy when removing a Reatta taillight.
