There are a couple decent videos on youtube
of headlight replacement that shows how to remove the front bumper that should be helpful to you.

Looks like you need to remove the upper bolts holding the chrome grill on which will allow you to pull the top of the grill out far enough to reach the fasteners that are close to the area where yours is pulled away. Loosen those fasteners up a bit, get it aligned the way you want it and then snug them up and the reinstall the grill fasteners.

You may also want to pull the bumper off of the car in order to fix the area where it attaches to the passenger quarter panel. You can strIghten that area of the bumper out by applying some heat using a heat gun or hair dryer to the back side of the plastic.

I'm confused, which is not uncommon...

It's always been my understanding that in a car, "fascia" refers to panels of a car's dashboard...this jibes with research.
?????

As a Tool Maker that builds these front "end " fascia moulds for the automotive industry. It's the right terminology.😄

So, the exterior of the front end of a car also is call a "Fascia?"


How confusing is that???
