Default Front bumper fix?

I am a little rushed at the moment so i apologize if it looks like im not getting the point across correctly. I recently hit a deer which did minimum damage to the truck. It did however, make the chrome piece under the headlights angled weird. I would upload a picture, but it’s not letting me it’s stuck at 34%. Can anybody tell me if there’s a way to bend it back into place or anything. The best I can explain the way it looks is the corner is pointing slightly downward and there’s a noticeable gap between the fender and the chrome piece.

A lot of these OEM 13th Gen (2015-2020) F150 front bumpers were mounted weirdly, almost incorrectly, resulting in a perceived "frown" when looking at the truck from it's side/side view.

What many here have done to correct that frown is literally shim between the lower pair of mount bolts to lift the bottom of the bumper, forward, effectively tilting the bumper to "plumb".

You might try something like that. Or remove the damaged bumper then take that part to a body shop and let some metal guy work his magic.
