I removed my bumper and plastic headlight surround to see if there is a way to adjust the small piece in my photos. It appears there is no adjustment, just rubber grommets that hold both ends in place and they have some play. The one furthest to the right, touching driver side fender is loose so the gap between headlight cover is greater than the left attachment point. You can see second photo with light pressure pushing it back. Are these rubber grommets easy to change out? I did not want to pull one out until I get some insight.

Was the drivers front quarter panel ever replaced? Many of the aftermarket ones didn’t fit real well.

That's better than average, but it shouldn't be loose for sure.

It may be a bit twisted. Maybe a clockwise twist on the right and a counter clockwise twist on the left. Small moves

Upon further inspection, the rubber grommet is in fact toast so will source new.

If you are bold, you can adjust the position by bending the metal "legs" on the eyebrow.
