My front bumper on the right side is hanging just a slight bit and I was wondering what I could do to fix it.

Is it an aftermarket bumper? The fitment kinda makes me think it could be, since it’s different from side to side.

Do you have a front mount intercooler installed by removing the front bumper support? Boosted fab makes a bumper riser to help with fitment in that situation.

 
I have the exact same problem on my Talon. OEM bumper, no front-mount installed, and I'm using the full bumper support along with the proper 2gb Talon front bumper Styrofoam support insert. The bumper meets up fine at the corner between the headlights and fenders, but I have a gap on both sides of a similar size the OP's. Have never been able to get it adjusted to remove it, and would love if someone had any advice on how to adjust it properly!
 
Never been in an accident or had body damage as far as I can tell. I've had the entire car stripped down to the unibody to build it, and there's no evidence anywhere that anything's been tweaked, crumpled, repaired etc.
 
I found out if you have a front mount and it's not trimmed properly that will cause it to sort of fold underneath and one headlight may suffer. I also found out if either head light has no bolt in the bottom which mine didn't it'll make it look like there's a gap because the headlight is pulling up. The aftermarket pumbers never fit perfect either. I'm also using the boosted fabrication bumper supports, they helped but that gap was still there until I addressed the other 2 issues I mentioned above.
