I've looked everywhere (you name it fastenal, specialty hardware
places etc), for a type of fastener that I could use that would allow
me to PUSH this faceplate into some chassis holes and have it stay
there with a sturdy grip.


Two possibilities: velcro, and adhesives (I'm thinking of replaceable
foam-tape adhesive, actually). How often does the faceplate have
to come off, anyhow?
