And this is it. Wasn't that easy to line up when refitting, but the panel is now back on with all five fixings holding it securely in place. 
Next time I have the panel off I'll adjust the way the bracket is secured (speed clip and screw) to the ventilation duct to improve alignment.
The metal bracket is stronger, though a similar length, compared to the OEM plastic one (removed by me) on the transmission panel.
Edit: Better picture of bracket added; just missing a non-slip washer where it is fixed to the plastic vent.
