Calling all Front Bumper experts

Hey guys, I let someone drive my g35 and while he was parking came to close to the curb and rubbed the front bumper into the curb, a couple of those plastic clips fell out from the plastic around the wheel and I bought new clips so I fixed that,

But on the drivers side of the bumper all the way at the end, the bumper sticks up a little above the light and looks bad, I uploaded 3 pics, first one is the current picture of bumper, second is if I push on it slightly, and 3rd is the passenger side of bumper and how the drivers side is suppose to be.

Does anyone who is good with the g35 bumper/panels know the exact problem is like if it's a clip or screw that broke or how to fix it?

It's gapped. What u seeing is the foam that is worn. U should take the light off and pry the clips out to get a tighter fit.

This is normal. You probably had this before the scrape. What jkl said you could do but it won't be much improvement. I have it too and just ignore it.

Double sided tape behind the side marker. No need to take it to a shop, they would probably laugh haha

Is double sided tape strong enough to hold it down?

So the problem is with the light markers and not the bumper?
