    The side trim panel on the passenger side seat was accidentally pulled away in the front. Checked the tabs and clip are intact, is there any special way to push that in? Or just by brute force?

    Unless the tabs are badly distorted or broken, it should just to back into place with firm pressure. Be sure the tabs are aligned with the slots before pressing. Most of the interior trim panels are a "stab-lock" design. Plastic prongs fit into slots with a gentle snap. BTW, welcome to PC :)
