When you look at my car head on you can notice underneath the drivers side headlight there's about an inch of space between the bumper and light when the other side is completely flush. Also, the fog lights don't line up with their holes perfectly either. Any idea if its a bumper clip and maybe which one? I bought the car with solid mounts installed so I'm guessing whoever installed them might've too the bumper off and messed up or missed a clip.

If you check out my profile pic you'll see what I mean with the headlight space. I can fix it by pulling up on the bumper so there slack
 
Mine was like that, just had to trim a bit more off the bumper. It was hanging up on the fmic. I dont see one listed in your profile. I would simply take it apart and see whats been bent or misaligned. Its a bit of a bi*** but necessary to find out what is going on.
 
could also be from a fender bender that wasn't fixed correctly. Look at the sheetmetal surrounding the inside headlight area to see if any creases don't look like they should be there, or flaked/cracked paint.

I was thinking that too but the paint on the bumper seems to be in good condition. No cracking just small chips from rocks. I think it may just be someone taking off the bumper and not putting it on right or breaking a clip
 
Removing the crash beam will cause sagging, especially under the headlights. So that's another thing to check.
