Painted Reflector Adhesive?

My detailer installed my IND painted reflectors when I was getting the car ceramic coated and left some adhesive on them/the inside of the bumper, so fitment isn't great. I was hoping to remove them, clean the surfaces, and re-adhere.

Does anyone know what adhesive used for the reflectors, so I can replace that and not the parts themselves?

I think you can get it in different widths and thicknesses.

If it does end up slightly too thick, it can be slightly stretched to thin it out before sticking on the reflector side
