When putting back on my front bumper....

ok...so I removed the resonator box...but when I removed the front bumper this styrofoam piece shaped like the bumper with 2 plastic inserts (look like they cover the fog lights somehow) fell out.. I didn't know how it went back (not to mention 1 of the plastic inserts broke) so after playing with it a while I said screw it and left it out.
so a couple questions

how does that thing go back in?
is it important to have in there?

also follow up ques
after puttingt bumper back on I notice a gap between the bumper and the car...is that always there?...I mean if I get close enough I can see the tabs on the inside of the bumper....it seems like too big of a gap....but everything is on and tight???

thanks in advance
