take the bolts out. line it up. bolt it in. dont tighten the bolts all the way down until your sure you have it lined up to your standards then snug

the tabs that attach the rear bumper cover to the bumper are the important part. if they were torn off, then you have to somehow either reattach them or make new tabs. i did the new tab thing with the front bumper cover/lower valance. it came out really nice after dremmeling and sanding flat.
