It's fine. But if it really bothers you, it can adjusted using torx on top of the bumper area right where you open the hood.
See pics
Under the hood, locate these tabs with Torx screw and loosen them. Then firmly lean onto the front bar to adjust and screw back in at desired level. Below shows the tabs which have been adjusted (pushed all the way in) to leave the most minimum bumper gap.

I guess it's just slightly larger than before possibly, and for some reason, it kind of irks me that the bumper triangle point doesn't align with the hood lol

I would bring it back to the Dealership and have them determine it's the recommended gap measurements.
They had my car for 1 month and almost 2 weeks for a rock crack in bumper, and replacement of radiator... trying to avoid this hellscape known as the dealer.

Yes I understand, I had front brakes/rotors replaced, oil change and wheels refinished (under Tire/Wheel Policy)and was there almost 3 weeks. It seems everything at the Dealerships service are backed up.

unscrew all 3 and keep the bumper pushed in with your thigh as you tighten each screw. close the hood and see if it is to your liking, if not, push harder.
To adjust the bumper height, there are two alignment bolts (Torx-40) inside the grill, as shown. Loosen them slightly, then bull the bumper upward to adjust the height. Hold the bumper at your desired height, then tighten the alignment bolts.
This solved my issue after the other method didn't do much to close the gap on our shop C63s.

Hope this fixes your gap!
Ahh, that is great info, as it seems like it's actually mismatch height causing it look larger.
