JDM Fog light delete fitment question

So I installed my japanparts foglight deletes and I noticed there was a small gap at the bottom where the plastic housing meets the bumper. Its missing by about 1/4 of an inch, not a hude deal but still frustrating. I also havent had my undertray on for a bit if you think that make make the issue. Has anyone seen this?

Any Ideas?

I saw that there was a spot for a screw at the botton that I think would hold it tight, but I didnt see a spot on my bumper for me to screw it into.

same thing happened to me

on my driver's side bottom almost dead a tab came unglued from the bumper...it was held to the back of the foglight housing by one of the screws I did not completely remove

I found the missing tab a few days later boxing up the foglights

the solution is to get a gorilla glue or a plastic bonding solution and re-affix the piece to the bumper

or

use a bonding putty and build it up on the bumper and just put a screw thought the fog light surround into the putty

I prefer plastic epoxy, it will never break if done right.
