:Mine has poor fitment as well. Yours looks similar. There is a gap at the at the angle (9 o'clock on your circle) even though it fits tight elsewhere.

The two threaded bolts on each side by the headlights that engage the metal wing/clip.
I discovered that by pushing up and down on the urethane flange that engages the bolts, I could affect the curve/bow. I (counter-intuitively) found that by changing their angle (pulling the tip more forward (horizontally), they changed the angle of the urethane "flange" and the natural bow of the fascia came back a lot. However, its hard to thread the nut (with the hat) over the bolt when the angle starts to interfer with the use of a socket/wrench...and I stripped on (cross threaded)...so be careful.
Leave the nut on the bolt as you move it and then taking the nut off...you should be able to keep the threads nice!

Good luck!
