Sorry for the pics to be upside down, I took them in my phone so they may need to be rotated

There it is, that is why the door is having a hard time closing you need to remove the panel and replace the broken/worn-out clips. There is a DIY in DIY section you can use as a guide> Unfortunately there different clips so you need to remove the panel to see which is broken loos. This might be a silly question but have you tried pushing it back in? Does pop out again?

Yes in fact I did try to push it back in but it returns, itrred to have a look inside and I saw the thing that goes inside the hole its a bit bend, the thing is from the panel that goes in the door like a plastic nail, sorry but I'm not familiar with its name.

Yes, those are the clips. If they bend or strip they are useless. You got some work ahead of you brother if you want to fix it. Below is a link that will help you guide through it;
