Bumper cover to headlight gap question

Hi all,

My bodyshop had to remove and re-install my front bumper cover as part of a repair. When I got it back, there was a significant gap between the bottom of the headlights and the bumper cover (picture attached). You can see the rubber spacer that I'm assuming was meant to server as a cushion between the light and bumper.

Can someone look at their car and let me know if there is such a gap from the factory?

Thanks!

I concur with @trusted; that's an alignment problem. Was the headlight replaced, or the bumper cover, or either?

It may possibly be that the body shop overlooked an alignment point or groove when re-fitting the cover.

Was an independent Porsche certified body shop. They adjusted the bumper cover and it is much better now. There is still a slight gap, not really visible, but enough to fit a credit card through. I checked another 718 and it was the same, so I'm assuming it's normal.

There are still a couple of little things to fix, but they are very responsive in addressing what I find.
