A-Spec lip installation issue

I took my car to the dealer to install my ASpec lip and there is a little gap like it is not fully flush against the bumper in the front long where the fogs would be thought I dont have any in an 05. I can press against it and it then closes the gap in between the two. What would one suggest that I can do to have the lip more flush installed? Might they have skipped something in the installation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I install it myself. There also a gap on the side of the bumper. But on the side there also a double sided tape I didn't pull out because the temp was cold. So I waited until the hot day I pull the double side tapes out and it stick.

Yes, tape issue or maybe lip isn't installed perfectly centered if it's only happening on one side.

Trick: Is install when hot outside and the lips kit are hot. The reason for it plastic bent better and tapes hot stick better

They installed it like 3 weeks ago.. in south florida... Its never cold here... So, can it be fixed or do I need to buy another lip or something, Im not clear on how to fix it but I do understand what you are saying to a degree. The gap isnt huge, but I just want to get it right so I can move on to the next part of this project.

I have this same issue. Bought dbl sided tape and slid it in the gap. Didnt help. I've just learned to live with it.
