Default MWC Front bumper support problem

Is anyone else having issues with the front bumper support being so tight on the inside of the bumper not allowing any room to pull the bumper toward the hood ( the area I'm talking about is where the hood meets the bumper up front ) Causing about an 1/2-3/4 inch gap between the front bumper and the hood once it's closed . The hood is absolutely perfect so there is no adjustment there without screwing up the gaps by the windshield ... Any ideas on how to fix and is anyone else having or have heard of this issue

Some pictures inside of the bumper cover and the bumper support might help, to see the problem. I have a MWC bumper support and the fit is perfect.

Mine is too tight to the inside grill area and doesn't allow the bumper to fit around the two bars going up through the grille. This also doesn't allow my rksport grille to fit with the bumper support. Haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it yet. Maybe a $150 work bench weight.

I always thought mine looked good.
I'll check the gap on mine and report back.

I use to have the Wings West grill and it was right up against it , as much as I don't want to , my only option next to just pulling it out is to adjust the hood froward to close the gap

Mine is a very tight fit. I have a little bit of a gap but that's because I have an FTP lid which is bigger then stock so I had to raise the hood up a tad. I was able to shim under the upper bumper lip to get it to flow better though.
