Default How to repair this clearance?

Hi dear mates. How's your summer? I hope all is fine :-)
I need to repair the clearance that you can see in the attached picture. Does somebody know how this can be repaired? Any kind of idea please?
I attached two pictures: You can see a big clearance in the first one. The last one is fine more or less.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Your bumper is hanging, that's why.

its probably just a broken body clip. have you checked to see if that is the case or if the bumper just came off the clip?

Pull the bumper off and post pictures of that area.
It can either be that the bumper fell off the metal bracket under the headlight.
OR
The fender tab where the bumper screws into is bent downwards, so when the bumper is bolted/screwed, it sags because the mounting point is lower than its suppose to be.
