Default 2014 - 2016 vs 2017+ F sport rear diffuser

I could've sworn I read some posts by people saying the rear diffuser was a direct swap. I am looking into the mounting brackets, they're on opposite sides so does that mean that the 2017+ bumpers are different than the ones prior?

Nvm, I just realized there's different angles, there's 2 mounting points which are at the top and bottom which the pic doesn't show. Sorry about that, looks like it is a direct swap
