are you sure its not hitting the FMIC? if not it might be hitting the lower splash guard, the rails underneath the headlights, or the tons of othe stuff...

the bottom of the headlight has a clips that the bumper must go into. its a metal bracket. if this bracket was tweaked at all you need to readjust it OR the bumper simply is lined up with the bracket yet so it can be pushed in. i think you need to take some pictures for a better solution.

Yes the 2 clips on the bottom are in but for some reason the thinner part of the headlight doesnt line up

not sure why it wouldn't go in at the corner of the headlight unless something is blocking it... i did notice however you have a bracket on the floor that suppose to be attached to the car, so hope that wasn't left off by accident. the picture you provided must not be your car because the bumper looks fine to me, but it may just be the angle.

either way good luck and i hopefully someone can chime in to help
