Aero Front bumper fitment questions!

Hey everyone! I just got my car last week and im loving it so far. I have a couple random questions that I know the experts of NAM can figure out for me The first is the car came with the areo front bumper but it doesnt seem to fit quite right. My car is an 06 is it possible that this bumper is for a different year? It doesnt match up with the hood correctly. Heres a picture of the bumper. And the place where it doesnt line up.

Here's under the hood. I think it might be missing a bracket right there on the corner. Does anyone know what that bracket looks like?

Also as i was looking in the trunk underneath the carpet (where the battery is) i found these too little plastic peices. No idea what they are for or where they came from. Thanks in advance for the help!

The circular pieces cover the access to the tow hook in the front honeycomb grill. Looks like you may have extras. As for fitment, your second picture suggests that your car has been in an accident. The wheel well liner looks broken. Will probably require some new parts.

It doesn't fit on either side, i think the liner was cut because of a previous collision with a semi truck tire. Dont think that's the reason though because there isn't very much damage, it only busted a fog light mount on one side.
