When a connectionless protocol is in use at a lower layer of the OSI model, how is missing data detected and retransmitted if necessary? Connectionless acknowledgements are used to request retransmission.

Network layer IP protocols manage the communication sessions if connection-oriented transport services are not available. The best-effort delivery process guarantees that all packets that are sent are received.
