Broken drawer front

Hello! Can anyone advise how I reattach the front to this drawer? (4 year old hung off it today!) I feel like it’s very simple but can’t work it out and Google brings up videos of all different types that you have to watch for ages before discovering it’s the wrong type 😑

Unscrew the bracket , then you can practice how it fits together ( clipping it in and out )then when you have have the hang of it screw it back on and clip the drawer front back on . 👍

Is that wise? Depends on quality of what the screws are screwed into I suppose but with questionable quality of some of my fittings I try to avoid unscrewing stuff/screwing back in unless absolutely necessary. Some things are not up to it.
I'd be inclined to explore other options first.

Had a go at taking brackets out and like @innocentfun suggested it felt like it was going to break the drawer 😬 can’t find any help online, none of them look the same!

I have been watching YouTube videos and looks like the clip itself is broken so will need to get another!

In fact realised I could fix without a new one so all fixed now 💪 (posting in case anyone else finds this page with a Google image search like I was doing an hour ago!)

well done :)
did you unscrew?
(says someone who has just bust a shredder by unscrewing it)

I started unscrewing but got bad vibes as it wasn’t unscrewing easily. Once I figures out that the drawer front holder had come apart it was easy x
