Hood to front bumper gap / shut line

Hello all,
The gap between my front bumper and hood is bigger than the other shut lines on the front of my car ('17 C63 AMG). I'd say over 1/4". Looked all around inside and don't see any signs of work done (I am 2nd owner) but just wanted to ask the community if you think this is normal / similar to what you see on your own cars.
Thanks in advance.

Was pretty bad on mine too, but can be easily adjusted yourself

Open hood, there are (2) TORX bolts that can be loosened and the top can be adjusted....

stupid question, the bumper top is adjustable or the hood itself at the hinge mounts?

I think it gets misaligned over time. I am the second owner, but I had a crack on the top front bumper by where the torx screws are. So I had the dealer fix it and realigned but still off the gap.
