Front bumper misalign at side marker light.

I have found that lately I noticed my front bumper is not being held in properly at the side marker light/wheel well.

It seems as though some clip or something has come undone or loose and is allowing the bumper to stick out some and not be flush with the
upper panel and side marker light.

Can anyone tell me how the bumper is attached at the wheel well and how to fix this annoyance.

There are two screws in the light area. One is accessed directly behind the receptacle and the other from underneath (requires access from under the front wheel well). Take a look at Porsche 996 986 bumper removal - YouTube for a good primer on how to get to the bumper.
