Yes, you're cars front bumper is sticking out for sure ......

If it won't stay in by pushing on it, you may have to take it off to see if that portion is missing (or has a damaged) clip (or whatever is supposed to be holding it in place).

Back in the day, we would ....... never mind ....

I have the same exact issue with my driver side after installing my new side markers.. more than likely its a clip that isnt catching in the designated spot behind the bumper.. just pull out half of the bumper from the drivers side and re-allign.. ive just been too lazy to do so.... lol

So over the weekend I had to take my bumper off to do some work on my headlights, and when i popped everything back in, VIOLA! The sticking out of the bumper was no more... just re alligned everything on the left, then the right sides, pushed in from the center, and everything fit perfectly again..

After a minor accident last year had to get bumper replaced. Think i've taken it back to the shop like 4 times now to get it reseated in hopes that it stays. no luck. decided to just deal with it.

I hear theres a TSB talking about this with a new bracket that should be used instead. I might try to wrestle my shop's warranty into getting it for me. Idk yet though. feel like this is a pretty nasty issue that has yet to have a clear cut solution based on the # of posts about it.
