bumper to headlight gap?

i just had my brand new 2013 mustang gt front bumper repainted (thanks to a cement truck throwing rocks all over it)

i left it at the shop to have them do some more buffing on the junk in the paint and just parts that needed more work to be perfect.

however, i feel like there is a gap between the light and the bumper.

can you guys post up some up close pics of the headlight where it meets the bumper? im pretty sure this gap wasnt like this before i took it in, i have had the car 2 months and washed it every saturday by hand.

Not sure if it's still like the 05-09's, but there's a piece on the bumper that slides into the bottom of the headlight. If you miss it, then it pulls the whole piece of the bumper down under the headlight creating a pretty good gap.

i would snap a pic of my car, but its at the shop, i left it over the weekend u ntil they can buff out the imperfections in the paintjob they did and put the bumper back on.

i appreciate the pic but i need a brighter and a little bit higher up to show where the seam would be between headlight and bumper.

thanks again everyone!
