While replacing the offside dipped beam bulb in my A4, I seem to have dislodged the reflector. How do I fix it back into place?

I would guess that you will definitely need to take the light out.

You can then try fiddling. Or separate the glass from the back and sort it that way (YouTube is your friend on how to do this. A few clips, gentle heat and some finger tip strength).

Yes I'm resigned to removing the headlamp now, what a PITA that seems. Most guides suggest the bumper has to be moved, though a couple reckon it can be removed without.

Pretty sure it has to come out.

I did mine and I'm a numpty. Getting the bumper back on is a PITA but I did it solo and it looks reasonably straight smile
