turn your adjusters all the way down. there is one on each apron. it looks like a 1" circular rubber plug. turn it all the way clockwise and see what that does for you.

funny, mine looks exactly like this. I remember noticing if after i loosened the front bumper cover to take out the headlights. from what I recall, there is quite a bit of play in the front bumper as you tighten down the bolts. have you loosened the bumper lately?

in that case, I might suspect the use of non-OE parts that dont have the same tolerances

When you open the hood, you will find this rubber seal that runs along the front of the car. Remove that seal (pry it up) and under it you should find some torx screws. Loosen those screws, and you should be able to pull your bumper up a bit to meet up with the hood.
