I recently had the front right fender replaced on my 2022 Honda Accord, but now the front bumper has a small visible gap and slight misalignment where it meets.

When I asked my mechanic about it, they told me, "This is normal once you take off and put back on the bumper."

Is it actually true that factory-like alignment is rarely achievable once a bumper is removed?

What can I do to fix or close up the gap myself?
Is it even worth the hassle of taking the front bumper

back off to try and realign it?

Appreciate any advice or insights!
