Default HELP back bumper lip

on my 98 coupe, i was installing the lip and it is too small (it fits but it doesnt go all the way up, it hangs down) is there a way to fix it so it stays up on the bumber instead of being forced to sit low on the bumber?

if its really to small its for a hatch, but if its close you just have to force it on.

Don't force it on, try blowdrying it to loosen the plastic.
