Try to press them down evenly and see if they can be snapped back in. Don't force them.

cheers ...

There are little retainer rings which some keys have on the bottom which help keep the key in place. If the keys are pried up, sometimes these little ( and I do mean very little) retainer rings go flying and are extremely difficult to find

The above is for an IBM I believe. There are countless different retainers and a mostly diff from manufacturer and in most cases, model to model within a manufacturer. At least, it will give you an idea of what you have/dont have
