Known problem -- Not a lot of great solutions. You can order OEM parts all day, but for most people replacement parts don't fix much. The bracket under the headlight tends to sag, and the bumper then doesn't contact the clips tightly.

You really have 3 options:
1. Purchase new mounting brackets for under the headlight, or a new bumper. If you're in the minority (40%) this will fix the sag, tightening up the connection to those bumper clips.

2. Purchase an aftermarket bumper 'bumper pin/latch' kit. Depending upon your preferences you may think this modification is ugly -- or you might be OK with it. It will solve the problem.

3. Ignore it (like I have), or come up with a DIY solution.
