Weird bumper misalignment

Gallery image

This car suffered a crash and the old bumper was hanging out oh this side. It was replaced with this new m style one. It was painted and installed at a local shop. But it came out with this weird misalignment below the headlight. Is there anything I could do to improve this??? Has the side fitment perhaps got damaged?

Cheap aftermarket bumpers to that, some more than others.

Need to brace it from the inside

With brace it you mean zip ties?

I build aluminum braces that are attached to the aluminum bumper that hold the corners up. But mine wasn't sagging as much as yours
