Default Chrome Headlight Ring Problems

My daughter just bought a 2018 Mini Countryman. It has chrome rings around the headlights. On both sides the chrome covering the ring is bubbling up and will soon peel off. I'm sure this Mini is not unique and others have experienced this problem. What's a good source for replacements and how hard is it to remove and replace them?
I see there are some available on Amazon but none have any reviews. I found them listed on RockAuto but both left and right are "out of stock". https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=10762&jsn=350
Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks!

I kept searching and found this YouTube video explaining how to release the old trim ring.

Right side takes a day or two if you need them

Install is much like the R56 and F56 which it clips into the hood. See the back of that part above?
