Default Front Bumper Cover

Hey guys, I have a problem with my oem ap2 front bumper. The bumper doesn't quite line up right with the front fenders. I've taken it off and tried putting it back on several times and I still can't tell whats going on. Does anyone have any experiences like this with their front bumpers?
Below I've circled the trouble areas:

Thanks in advance.
-Richard

Ah, the tricky part. Theres a weird sideways V shaped clip. The bumper has a notch, right? the notch fits BETWEEN the clip, youre most likely eithier trying to put it ABOVE or BELOW the clip. it fits between. Make sure this part goes in first before you do all the other screws/clips

Just my 5x experience of removing/installing my front bumper/other peoples from bumper
