the fasteners get worn out overtime because they are plastic. Try loosening the fasteners, adjusting the bumper and retightening the fasteners.

Measuring and lots of it.

A simple way to check for square is to measure from one corner of the engine bay to another, and do the same on the opposite side. if they are the same, the engine compartment is square. Download an FSM and it should have all the measurements to check for a tweaked frame.
