Front fender clip?

Hello, I have 2009 CRV EX 4WD (US model) and under the front fender liners, close to the front bumper from inside, I see a lip with a hole on each side (left and right) protrudng and what looks to be a corresponding hole on the fender liner (see attached picture). Should the lip be fastened to the liner hole with a clip? I looked at the parts diagram, but cannot figure out for sure. Any help is appreciated!
