Anyone else with this? (front bumper cover gap)

So I got my brackets today. I specifically requested those that match the 2011+ LED headlights but was still sent those that mount to the 2008-2010 headlights. Is there a separate part# for the newer brackets? All I see is 5211553042 no matter what year IS-F I select. I'm not sure how I can explain this when ordering to where I can guarantee getting the correct ones.
Or, are the headlights that Sewell sends out mounted differently than those that actually come on the 2011-2014 ISFs (ie. the brackets are the same 2008-2014)?

The Sewell lights did not include the bumper clips, you modify your old ones

I'd like to get the brackets that are actually made to fit the 2011+ lights rather than trying to work with my old ones or modifying a new set. I don't want to go through the trouble of removing the bumper and lights again without being pretty sure what I am doing will fix the problem and the proper brackets seems to be the best solution.
I don't understand how the bracket can be the same for all years unless the lights that are on the 2011+ cars are different than the lights Sewell provided and actually mount properly to the old brackets.

I'm still sort of trying to find new brackets. It seems like those that fit the 2008-2010 lights are what you get no matter what year IS-F you are ordering for. If I can't find them I'll work with my old ones that are on the car now and find a way to prevent them from flexing as much as they do.

I had this issue after the retrofit
I've tweaked it to a point where it doesn't bother me
Getting the actual brackets that go with the lights helped a bit. I got the best results tweaking the 3 bolts that hold the light in place. There is a little play on how the light is positioned.

Thanks. I actually ordered a set from Sewell before they closed the online store and still somehow got the old version - even though I described exactly what I needed. Luckily no problems returning them though. This info will be helpful in getting the right brackets
