headlight install help

So last night Kevin and I threw on my new bumper and headlight. There's a bit of a gap between my headlight and bumper, nothing entirely noticeable but it still makes me kinda "eh" for some reason. It's bigger of a gap compared to the passenger side. One of the mounting tabs on the headlight was broken (middle one) but the other two were just fine and I figured that'd be enough to hold the headlight to the car. Anyway, maybe I bent something on the accident? Maybe because I have an STi bumper now? I dunno. I'll check it out when I get home (I is at school) but I thought I'd throw this out there just in case someone else had the same problem.

My bumper is just a little looser on the driver side compared to the passenger side so it sticks out just a little more than it should. I just loosened the screwed from the headlight and tried to re-position it as best I could. If I can find a way to get the bumper to hug the car more then that would fix it, but other than that I'm stuck with a little bit of a gap there. Not a huge deal but it's the best I could do.
