under front bumper/engine shield
2012 camry, this shield goes back about 2 feet & it is clattering on a lot of stuff. It goes all the way across the front. I'm wondering if I need to leave it on for what reason.

If it is making noise or rattling around, you should check how loose it is and if you need to tighten things up or get new fasteners.
Ultimately, you do not need it. It does help with aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. It is there for a reason.

the problem is that there is a lot of play in it, up & down being flimsy. It is hitting on stuff mainly along the front-not being enough clearance. I stuck 5 small chunks of foam up under on top of shield along front. just hope it doesnt bother any sensors or melt.

I solved the noise problems I was having by tightening the 4 bolts under the front bumper that snug up the shield, now 10 months later the noise is back, stripped a bolt trying to tighten again-last time had to get very tight to quiet it down. Now there telling me there are plastic grommets up there that the bolts screw into. How to replace?

Most likely push into the sheet metal as show in the link below.
