Skid plate has notches that plastic tabs on the car receive. It just slides into position. If each plastic tab is holding the plate all the fastening points should align from plate to body.Confession time. I think I can see how this may happen, as I am Guilty of something similar.
When re-fitting the skid plate, the obvious way to re-assemble is to start by using the two SCREW Bolts (fitted loosely) to secure the plate in the approximate position, and then to fit the 1/4 turn lock screws while there is still some play in the plate position.
Then you should go back and tighten the two Screw Bolts, which today I realized I failed to do !!!
I bet this is what happens sometimes at the Dealership, and with vibration, over time, those two untightened screw bolts could work loose and fall out.
