NEED HELP - worried the car might actualy have been damaged

I had posted yesterday about getting "bumped" on the rear bumper by a Honda, and after a thorough look, and a quick look-over by a mercedes certified bodyshop, I didnt think there was any damage.

Today, however, in the light, i noticed a gap between the rear red lense and the bumper. This might be very normal (and damn, I hope it is), but I had never noticed it before, and I'm now totally OCD that there is some damage that I need to have repaired.

Can you kind souls help my racing mind and look at your cars to tell me if you have a similar gap - and even better, to take a few pictures (either way) so I either see that its normal, or can show the body shop guy what its supposed to look like?

This sucks!

Thanks for your help.
