Default Front Bumper Cover Alignment

I had to remove the front bumper cover to replace the signal lights, and after removed and installed the bumper back, there are gaps at the fender/under the headlight. There are instruction on how to remove it but the most pita is putting it back and align it correctly. Does anyone know if there is a procedure on the front bumper installation like which side to mount first or which bottom bolt should fasten first before the others ? I find it's a design flaw that the front bumper to remove to change out the bulbs.

Usually the bumper cover slides into the clips under the headlight which would automatically align it. Did yours not do it? do you have pictures of it not aligned?

I think it's aligned under the headlight, but the fender/headlight gap is more obvious than before the removal. Also, there are 2 bolts under the driver side that I was unable to fasten them because it's not aligned with the under body panel. I'll try to post some pictures.
