You can add again power icon with contextual menu on desktop upper bar.
Check if it is the case for the two other ones.
If not, try to uninstall (with keeping data)/install via Synaptic or Software-Center.

Hi hany abdelwhab, try the following:

Right click on top panel, choose 'Add to Panel', type "indicator" into "find window",
click on "Indicator Applet", "Add", click to "Indicator Applet Session", "Add", close.
(last possible missing is "Notification Area).

You can move, lock or remove these indicators after right clicking on them.

Regards,
George
