And sprung from 3 of 7 of its anchoring points. Any fix for this? Thx.

Shades of the old Weaver EMD E8 metal "FARR" grilles bowing out! Both probably due to different temperature expansion/contraction rates of plastics and metals (then why don't they ALL do it....?).
I'd suggest removing it altogether, flattening tenderly with fingers where needed, then re-attach using CA rather than the factory mounting posts. You may even need to remove these.
Maybe someone has a simpler way.
Agree with @D500. Gently remove completely and re-apply.
Else, weather the heck out of it and make it look like it's ready to be scrapped. 😉

D500, I remember my Weaver E8 doing that. Had an Atlas 50 footer that did it also. While I’m sure the above repairs will all work. I’m going to suggest a different path. I’m sure walkways were upgraded at times from wood to steel. Atlas does sell parts. You can even scratch build with styrene. I have got wooden walkways from them. Nicely detailed with different length boards and details. It would involve re drilling for their mounting posts and plugging up or trimming off yours.
Probably no way that will make you happy.

Take it off and make your own.
