Alright guys so I went ahead and tried fixing it myself. Took the advice on the heat.
Tools required were:
1. portable heater
2. flashlight
3. 2 pairs of shoes
I heated it up being careful not to burn it. I also directed the heat at an angle to avoid direct heat. After it softened up, i pushed corrected the fit. i thought fast and grabbed 2 pairs of shoes to keep to maintain the pressure. I let it sit for about an hour and problem fixed!
Probably during the curing process the bumper wasn't resting properly and the stress created a minor bulge. now i can sleep at night.

I'm glad the heating method worked. Please let us know if you need any other questions answered.
