Everything looks the way it's suppose to from the top down perspective. Take some pics from the front or the side too. The grill can be bolted or ziptied to the bumper supports. The holes on both should line up.

keep on playing with it... if the car was in a minor front or front side accident, things will shift. dont forget about the actual bumper support adjustment. you will find the adjustment area on the outside left and right sides of the frame rails. Fenders, headlight brackets (silvia), and hood all have their role in alignment as well... take your time and you line up.

Use some spacers or washers, loosen the hood hinges and shimy it until it gets where you want it. Like he said, play around with it.
