Re-Attaching Panel Above RV Slider

Hi there,
We need to re-attach the horizontal panel that covers wiring, etc. at the top section of the slider, above the cupboards.
In our RV, the slider is at the back.
I have attached photos to show what it looks like.
The panel appears to have been attached previously using a pin nailer - it was attached to the ceiling.
I am looking for suggestions on the best way to re-attach this panel.

If you choose not to use nails/staples, I would suggest a two sided tape made by 3M called VHB (very high bonding).

It comes in rolls of different widths. When they say Very High Bonding, they MEAN it! After it sets and cures, it isn't coming loose!

Thanks for that suggestion - we had considered two-sided tape as a possible option and will check into the 3M VHB tape.
Attaching the panel to the ceiling is a bit tricky so we want to be careful - no room for error.
