Front bumper/headlight gap and not holding in place. Any suggestions or ideas. I am thinking the radiator support is cracked and is pushing on the fender or bumper

A few pics would be nice to see exactly what you are seeing.
From those, you will get some suggestions I'm sure

Will be getting pictures tomorrow. I looked under it and looks like the passenger side had a small amount of bowing under the bumper where it attached So something g has to be in a small bind the driver side is the side with the gap and small amount of bumper to fender separation. Ordered new clips for the fender to bumper thinking of loosening the bolts free it up and see if it goes back like it should

Pictures would be great.

Be curious to see these pics. SOME gap difference from the left and right side are far from uncommon. And thanks to the way the front bumper mounts, there isn't really any to close that gap up. The only band-aid fix is to work with the 3 screws/nuts that position how the headlight housing sits, but even that has limited play. My 427 looked perfect from the factory. My ZR1 had a left sided gap so bad that I had to try the headlight housing method. It helped slightly but not much.

From a distance

Looking down the hood. The clip is good also

In my case the new skid plate/radiator support along with new clips fixed it for me.

Bottom photo shows a gap caused by the to pieces not being lined up properly. There's a little pin that has to line up and snap in for the fender to fit properly. I hope this helps. Anyone who has ever taken the headlights out will know exactly what I'm talking about.

The locator next to the clip holds the bumper down, the clip holds it close to the fender.

not sure what I am looking at here

In post #6 you can see your bumper lifting where it meets the fender. The pic I posted shows the clip and locator that holds the bumper down. I suspect your clip is broken (common) or the locator is missing. Here are a couple of PDF files I got from another Forum member that may help.
