Default lining up front bumper cover

i just can't get my front bumper to sit flush and even with my headlights at all. it always wants to tuck under the outside corner of the headlight. i'm pretty sure all the clips are intact. the car has been in a little accident where the bumper cover was replaced, so i'm thinking that it probably won't ever line up again. :/ any tips?

if you can mount the bumper without headlight, then you must bend the bracket what holds the headlight to the frame of the car...worst case you must drill new holes to mount the headlight...I would try mounting bumper first without headlight..

my headlights were tilted after 6 years of driving...no accidents but when I mounted my retro HID headlight it was low on the inside of the headlight...I had to bend the bracket to raise the inside of the headlight...
