Default Bumper Question

Can you guys take a look at the two following photos, and tell me if they put the front bumper on correctly? I recently had it repaired and repainted, and the adjuster for the collision center swears it's on the correct way. I thought the inner wheel well section goes behind the front bumper.

2010 Lexus IS 350

Yes, that is wrong. Even the mounting tab is backwards.

Agreed, completely wrong. Remove the clips holding it in place, and push the thin plastic wheel well cover behind the bumper lip there (and the lip of the fender if they screwed that up too).

Show us the results soon as you try this fix.

Mine looks weird as well. One side better than the other.
