AMD rear bumper

[Mopar5]

Installing an AMD bumper and I think it looks decent but when I install the bumper guards I have a gap at the bottom of the bumper guards any ideas? I will get some pics from my phone.

I know there are a left and right bracket upper bracket set and they are on the correct side. But is it possible for them to be upside down?

I don't know exactly how far out the bumper is supposed to sit but it kinda looks to me like its sitting a smidge too far out, maybe?   A little hard to tell from the photos.  It may be correct for all I know.   Are they original bumper brackets that hold the bumper on the car? 

Hmmm. Thinking.
Curious how the valence looks next to it. And if you have an old original bumper laying around, I'd say maybe throw that one on there and see if you get a different result.
Thats annoying though.

I have definitely  thought about putting the old bumper on but I am working alone and I am trying to minimize the on and off because it is really easy to chip the bumper filler or something else.As usual with me what was going to take a few hours will now be a few days. I try to keep in mind the quote from Voltaire which is 'Perfection is the enemy of good" but i always seem to ignore it.

Sorry yes the brackets are original

Yes, absolutely.   I hear ya, on all counts. 
And yes, haha, it pays to realize when "good enough" is good enough.

Well I'm done Hope it looks ok

Aftermarket parts have their quirks but I'm personally grateful to the entrepreneurs out there making all the parts out there without them this hobby would be much more difficult

[Mr Lee]

Looks good. Check that task off the list. 
And yes, I'm grateful for that too.  There's so much more stuff available now than there was years ago when I started my resto.
