ok so ive looked for a long time for pics but i cant find anything. i took my bumper cover off and it looks like those are mounts. but they dont line up.

the car didnt have the bumper support when i got it, so i bought a bumper from some guy on craigslist.

can you guys tell if im missing mounts or something cuz its lining up really weird. i seen some with the the gas filled bumper shock thing, but it looked like there was something bolted o the front of these plate things.

i got it all screwed on and the bumper was offset cuz the way they bolted on.
red line is what they bolted to, and blue line is the open hole
