Default A lot of Spacing between bumper and Headlight

I was wondering I noticed I have a lot of spacing between my drive side bumper & headlight.... I was wondering can I fix this by moving the bolts a bit...

Not sure about a fix, but I wish I had that much space when trying to get out my headlights. That 3rd bolt would of been a snap to get out!

Maybe theres so much space due to someone trying to get to that 3rd bolt?

This is great news. I have to adjust mine a little bit also. My passenger side is low and my drivers side is tight against the light.
