Touch up paint lost behind fender panel

Yesterday I was working on my 2014 F-150 XLT SuperCrew with one of those touch up paint containers about the size of a marker. I meant to set it down right on the wiper blade it slid off and right down this little pocket on the drivers side corner of the hood. I dont see how to get it with opening the hood, it seems like it is between the fender panel and the engine bay compartment. Don't see an easy way to get to it from the wheel well either

I'm not too mechanically inclined but was wondering if there is an easy way to get to this area without pulling off the fender panel?

If you remove the lower screws holding on the wheel well liner, you’ll have access to that lower portion of the fender, where it and lots of leaves, dirt, etc will be.

I dropped a spool of wire down there doing my bull bar wiring. As 2008xl said, pull screws out of wheel wheel liner and you'll be able to get right in there.
