OEM Fender Flare issue

I need some help with the driver side rear door fender flare on my 2000 Highlander. There is nothing holding the flare on the door except for some 3m tape. I know there are some parts missing, but not sure what I need and how to make this right. Pics would also be great!

There should be a steel support plate that is attached to the door (shown in the diagram provided by spartacus'). What holds the flare to that plate are 2-3 plastic pressure clips and 2 rivets. I had reaffixed mine recently (passenger rear door). I was able to locate two replacement clips from the salvage yards and secured it with two appropriate sized rivets for that hole diameter. If I knew the size, I would tell you, but I have an assortment of rivets in a box that are not labeled.

It isn't a difficult job. I would begin by removing the flare and determining if you have that metal plate behind it.

No metal plate, just a hallow flare.
 
x4 per door, there are pieces of tape on the door under said to protect the paint.
