Does anybody have a picture of the underside of the Amuse front bumper?

I'm a new owner of an '09 and am absolutely loving the car. I've finally gotten to the point to where I am working on correcting the few flaws I either didn't notice or (subconsciously chose to ignore) before the deal was done.

One of the problems is the amuse bumper doesn't fit perfectly with the front fenders. There is a little bit of an uneven gap (more so on the passenger side). On my car, the bottom most part of the splash guard (fender protector or whatever it is called) is stretched underneath the amuse underside, where I know on the OEM bumper it is tucked inside. The person who did the install even made their own holes securing it with sheet metal screws. It seems like it would make more sense for this part to be tucked inside the amuse front, but I'm not seeing how this would work either.

I guess I might need to take the whole thing off, slide put it back on with the splash guards properly in place and hope I can re-attach everything while correcting the gap issue, but I'd like to avoid doing so if possible, and pics of a proper install would help!
