Default Front Bumper Attachment

Does anybody know how the front bumper attaches? I didn't hit anything that I know of, but the passenger side of the front bumper is detached a bit. Tried pushing it back, but won't engage. Image is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

Not too sure, but I'd take this to the dealer if it isn't simple. Looks like it needs to go down and in for a tab to fit in that slot you can see in the pic.

Maybe your bumper hit/scrapped the ground on a steel incline. Might need a new clip or have a body shop help you reattach it.

Not to create another thread, but looking for some insight into something similar as well.

my front bumper is slightly loose, if you push up against it can move a few mm, I'm assuming or clip or some kind of support has broken over the years, My car does have some scrape marks underneath the front bumper which would explain it.

but I'm not 100% sure if perhaps it's normal for the front bumper to be able to move a few mm when applying some force to it?

how would I go about getting this corrected?

There's a YT video in this thread that should be helpful in removing the bumper. You might not need to remove the whole thing, but it should give pointers on what might need to be removed to get to your problem area.
