what does the other side look like?
and signs of it being hit before?
There are several adjustments under the bumper cover.
The fibreglas support that those 3 upper retainer pins go into
can be moved back on its mounts.The retainer pins get sloppy with age so you may want to get some new ones too.

the fibreglas mount is held by metal brackets which can be adjusted
You replaced the plastic retainer pins?
