headlight not fitting

Hey guys, had a rather warm day friday so after school I decided to put my HIDs in before it got dark, when putting in the passenger side headlight, the bolt holes lined up, and mounted solid, but the actual placement is off, there is a gap on the quarter panel and it looks like it could be pushed in front the bumper...I was so frustrated...It doesnt wiggle though, it is mounted solid..anyone have this problem?

there was a whole thread on this before, all i can say is welcome to the club. mine never lined up, i have the same gaps you speak of. not much i can think of doing, just puching it around more maybe move the spot where you bolt the headlight down
