Default 1995 Bumper Blade

My front chrome bumper blade has separated from the main bumper near the headlight washers. Can this be re-secured without removing the bumper? I'm not sure how it is connected in the first place. I'm assuming there are clips of some sort?​​​​​​​

You have to adjust the side blade, it is attached to the car and not the bumper.

Thanks. How do you access the screws? Is it from under?

What I usually do is go on eBay and see if I can find the part someone else is selling. Usually the pics show all side of the part and then I can kinda figure how its attached.

I see how it connects - thanks for that. The sides are sitting flush to the bumper as is the middle - it is only pulled away at the headlight washers. It doesn't seem like adjusting the side or the middle will fix this. It seems like it's bent but it's the same condition on both sides. Has anyone else run into this? I suppose I can remove it and try to gently bend it back but wanted to know if someone has a better approach. Thanks again.
