Default T/A front bumper alignment

One of my fantastic family members slightly tapped my trans am. I checked for damage real quick and couldnt see anything wrong. Well I was washing my car recently and I noticed some damage. There is little to no gap on rightside where the front bumper meets the hood. The leftside is fine. Is there anyway to adjust my front bumper? I could adjust the hood but there is only a problem with the gap on the rightside.IF you look at the pic I posted you can tell what I mean. This isnt my car but shows wut im talkin bout. thanks in advance...

check your hood hinges and see if it moved slightly, that will be an easier adjustment then the bumper

The hood is not the problem. All of my gaps around hood are the same. Only gap that is smaller is the area I pointed out on leftside of picture.

I stated in my first post that this isnt a picture of my actual car. Does anybody have any actual advice. Can the front bumper be adjusted?
