Window shades and valance

Have anyone else experienced the Valance and window shades falling off the walls? I have attached photos of a new issue with our 2017 3820FK. Seems after our last trip, both slide out main window valances started falling off the wall. Looking them over I think i have to remove the shade first by unscrewing the screws and then, investigate how they are mounted to the wall. Has anyone taken these down and could provide a learning experience?
Thanks

Ours are screwed to the underside of the actual shade bracket with a square headed screw. Look straight up under the front of the valance and you should see them.

Maybe in the newer models there are attachment brackets such as R.S.O'Donnell illustrated in the previous post. But they used to just run Robertson (aka square headed) screws through the valance at several points. They usually try to hide them in folds of the cloth material so you do have to look hard for them. Each corner will have them for sure, plus along the wall depending on the length. The valance needs to come off before you can easily access the shade mounts.
