A similar thing has occurred on Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia.
It has a few pictures, the part numbers and an owner who replaced the original rivets with trim screws.
There may be other part numbers for the plastic latch as well and available at many online parts sources.
2019 GMC Acadia : Broken Sunroof Sunshade Clip/Latch
2019 GMC Acadia : Broken Sunroof Sunshade Clip/Latch
Front sunshade retainer: 84691055 $13
Rear sunshade retainer: 84900118 $12
If it looks like this, it should work. GM uses many bit parts like this across platforms. If this part is a little different in size, a little grinding or filing may work.

Here is a Youtube on how an owner on an Acadia/Traverse/Enclave repaired this:
I am not sure this part is the same size as the Equinox/Terrain, but look at posts in this Acadia thread.

This system is definitely different to the Acadia listed above, as that is manual retraction, the Equinox is electric retraction.
Ok I just had this problem and (hopefully) managed to fix it. The white clips have a wavy end on one edge of the clip, that goes at the top, and pushes in to the rail that the black plastic part is attached to. So you have the shade folded over on itself, pull it past the black plastic part and slide back into it, then reach behind with the white clip and push it onto the back of the black plastic part in the direction of inside the car to outside the car (I hope that makes sense?) it should then clip into place firmly, do that on both sides and test full retraction. The photo is a bit hard to understand but that's how it should look from above when fitted.
This should not take a dealer more than 10 minutes and not hundreds of $$$, if I can figure it out with no trained mechanical knowledge.
