Your cars probably been hit before. Try and line the 89 bumper up again, i bet it doesnt line up...

Force it, the bumpers are fairly flexible.

if the 91 bumber is a crx bumper then u need the crx bumper support due to the cut outs where u would put the fog lights. other than that, snap a few pics of it so we can see the problem ur descibing.

You have to use the inner support from the 91 on the 89. I did the same thing on my hatch and used the inner support from the 91 to line everything up..Hope this helps
