Default Cant reinstall front bumper again

My parking light on the passenger side went out so I removed my front bumper to change the light, now trying to put the bumper back on the Phillips screws don't even fit the hole that it came out of anymore! Did I lose something?! Now my bumpers sides hang and stick out!!!

try taking it off and putting it back on the other way you did it the first time. Sometimes it flexes weird or is fits better the opposite way you installed it...

Also check for anything making it stick out.

Good luck!

When I took off my bumper and put it back on I had to take it off and readjust it.

Well the problem is the hole is way too big for the screw, and there is no other hole anywhere near there! I'm totally confused because I am %100 certain this is where it came from

Maybe a missing screw clip?

Does that for sure go on the bumper? Because if so, I am missing both of them and I guess I'm f****d

I believe it's piece 25, I'm putting number 29 in there and the hole is too lose. Wtf is part 25? Does that piece meet the screw on the other side and screw into it or what?

So, that screw clip turned out to be the part, but the thing is that the screw wouldn't fit back into that either because the hole in the clip was still too large, which is where it came from in the first place, so I don't know what hell happened, but would I did was just grab an extra bolt I had from the garage and just used that. Fit perfectly. Thanks for the help
