Default Front bumper cover

A little over a year ago I was the recipient of a hit and run. I got a new front bumper cover out of it, wasn't GM though. There is a decent size gap between the bumper and the hood when compared to other camaros. Anyone know how I could snug it up?

sounds like an aftermarket bumper and if thats the case really not to much you can do
if it was a remanufacturedbumper meaning a company takes damaged bumpers repairs them and sells them back to us
or,,,,,,the front end is still damaged, example still swayed over one way, still pushed down, giving you the misaligned gaps

Well it wasn't hit hard. I was parked in front of my house and someone tapped the corner enough to bust the side marker and put two little crack in the cover where it was molded around the marker. I think the one they put on is an aftermarket cause it doesn't have camaro molded into the front it is just smooth where the grill goes.
