Fix bumper alignment

[Kronos]

My bumper was removed after 4k miles for paint peeling. They put the bumper on crooked and misaligned. Center of the bumper Is too high in the middle where it meets the hood. Also there Is too large a gap between the bumper and hood. Can I adjust this easily? Dealer is an hour away..

You should be able to remove the trim by the hood rod and access the mounting screws for the hood.
Maybe they are not seated right.

Is that the entire method for aligning the front bumper? If it's not that, what is the next step?

People have put shim between the bumper and the screw to raise it up.

Ok thank you. Seeing as it was aligned before (gees at least I thought it was...) I'm gonna assume it's just the screws. Hopefully wasn't bent or something. They did a pretty junk job of the repaint. Looks like they just painted over the paint peeling, looks like as if you were to paint over rust.

Is there a way to move the bumper closer to the hood? It definitely is twice the distance from the hood as it was before
