Default Reshaping a bumper support- Suggestions?

Helloo every'body

Just got this truck, took of the bumper off and its only supported by two of those bolts, should be four!

But I got some at the junk yard, so may many rangers there.

Issue now is that its not aligned straight, picture will be provided to see what I mean.


Any suggestions? Thanks

----------







tried with a heat gun, but I dont think its hot enough.
