How to fix small gaps after A-Spec body kit install

Just got the kit installed by the dealer last Friday and there are a couple of small gaps in the front(the rear looks fine) where the bumper starts to round over by the headlights. They look to be about less than 1/32". The dealer said they will get better after it warms up(it was 28degrees the day I had it installed). Other than taking the front lip off totally,is there any kind od sealant/adhesive I could use to press the spoiler tight to the bumper? The car is WDP,which shows everything. Any help is appreciated.

I had similar gaps on both sides of mine too. I leaned a couple of 12 packs of soda cans on the area so the weight had enough pressure to close the gap. Left them there for a few days while I didn't drive the car. Protect the paint with some masking tape.
