Default 94 civic hatch headlight to bumper gap

hey guys ive tried to search and came up pretty much empty handed. my drivers side corner of headlight and bumper have a big gap where bumper and headlight meet. allmost as if the bumper needs to be pushed up closer to bottom of headlight housing. my buddy said there are meatl brackets that go under each headlight and thebumper locks into, however looking at oem diagrams the only stiffner i see is the CENTER one which i do not have, but the passenger sider and center of bumper seem to be fine? just the drivers side. can anyone shed anylgiht on this for me please? thanks guys

I don't need a PC to upload pics. Photobucket app and a smartphone.

Friend is right about there being little brackets under the headlights where the bumper tucks in. Possibly you're not looking at the correct parts diagram if you don't see them. Pic will verify if you're missing isht. Get on that.

Then I don't understand why you don't obtain the missing parts and install them.

I guess I'm confused. You are the only one that knows what's underneath that bumper and we don't and somehow we are supposed to tell you what you need?

On the link that was posted, you want number 8 and number 9, those are the brackets that you are missing, and yes, they fit under the headlights.

I purposely left them off of my car until I'm done with my restoration because they make it that much more difficult to get the headlights out. With them off you can remove the headlights without taking off the bumper, but I wasn't able to with them on.

With them off, I've got maybe a 1/2" gap under the headlights, with them on that is reduced to about 1/4"

Doing it wrong. Look at your car. Look at the diagram. Look at the car.
What ever is in the diagram that is NOT on your car, is what you are missing. That simple.

I've found that sometimes you have to restate the concept more than once before people actually understand it.
