Hit a dip, bumper loose now?

So last night i was pulling out of a hotel parking ramp, narrow windy roads with sharp dips, and at one point i think i hit the bottom of my bumper on the ground as i was pulling out. I went and looked at it today and didnt see any visible damage, but I tried pushing along the bottom/front of it, and there seems to be a bit of give all the way around, nothing huge, but i just hadnt noticed it before.

Is this normal? or should i take it in and have the dealer look at it......

PS can take video and post if needed!

Sounds like the bracket behind the fog either came loose or broke.

If it is a broken bracket, what would it cost to fix/replace? under warranty?

Put your car up on the curb , crawl underneath with a good torch & take a look yourself for any damage.
