Bumper Cover Gap

Bumper cover has been off for a while, and putting it back on I can't for the life of me fix this gap. Nothing seems broken, but I can't get it to tuck in like it's supposed to, it's like there's nothing to clip into underneath the headlight. Any ideas?

There's a plastic locator rail type thingie that it clips into, but I never figured out how to make it stay in. Not sure if it deforms when removed and reinstalled. You have the screw at the back of the corner marker right?

Yeah the screw is in. I've tried repeatedly to get in place, not sure what's going on with it but the gap sure is annoying.

There should be a piece of plastic attached to the headlight, which clips the bumper on. A lot of times the clip is broken and needs replaced.

I can't tell without taking the bumper off, so I just ordered the pieces from atkins rotary and we'll see if they help or not. Thank you for the assistance.
