I have a bath towel rack in our bathroom and one of the bar holders has stripped out of the wall. My plan was to try to reattach it, but I cannot figure out how the hardware works.
Here's a picture of the other bar holder that is still in the wall. There are no set screws or anything on the outside of the holder:
Here's a picture of the side that has pulled off:
Here are the holes:
I'm not sure how to fix this. It looks like there is no way to mount anything on the wall, since the bracket is attached to the towel holder. I guess I could try to replace the whole thing, but I am unsure how to get the other side out other than just pulling on it, and I'm afraid I might tear up the drywall if I do that. Anybody ever seen this type of hardware before on a towel rack and any ideas on what to do?

The holder snaps into the part attached to the wall anchor in your photo.
You want to pull or push on the springs (i.e. the clip you have labelled) and release the bracket from the rod holder.
Then re-attach the bracket to the wall.
Then the rod holder pushes onto the bracket until it latches.
