Default Headlight / Bumper gap alignment

Just got my car back from the body shop after getting the front end resprayed for stone chips. Paintwork is brilliant, but I noticed the gaps aren't quite right on the head lamps/bumper.

The guy said if theres any issues I can just take it back, but this wont be until Monday. If it's easy enough to adjust I'd be as well doing it myself because I'll be toying around with it anyway.

Has anyone done this before?

Cheers

A photo might help people to advise you better?

There is some adjustment on the two brackets that bolt inside the bonnet, right by the headlights. They are L shaped brackets. There is also some play in the bracket holes anyway and I usually find I need to lean on the bumper a bit with my knee before nipping up the bolts and screws. You will need to loosen the screws that run along the bumper under the bonnet too to allow movement. Essentially undue all the under bonnet connection, and even the two screws in the wheel arch, reposition and tighten up.
