Default Front bumper issue

Hello,
can anyone tell me if I am having a body panel alignment issue, or if I am missing a clip of some sort? The other corner doesn't lift up like this one. I went through the parts catalogue but wasn't able to locate what I might be missing to keep that corner down.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! I didn't know it was a "fender clip", so wouldn't have thought to search that phrase. I appreciate the help.

Thanks for the info. Have a 2010 grand sport both sides pop up a little. Hard to notice, but it seems it is all I see. On another note, I
just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 325\30ZR 19 105(Y) XL today and it totally changed the car. Much Much smoother ride, no road noise
that I can hear and the traction is on a whole different level. Not kidding rides like a different car, still cannot get over the difference, all for
the better. I enjoyed the car before but now it is a whole different ride. Has to be the best modification (if you can call it that), that I ever did
to any of my vehicles and got this much of a difference in performance. If gas was cheaper I would still be driving around. Already stopped by
two buddies and gave a ride to them. I just cannot get over the difference, driving a new car once again. Sorry for the rant, just thought I would make
a suggestion when it comes time for you to buy tires, a little pricey, but I cannot tell you the difference it has made. I will never buy another tire, till one is proven better.

I'd use some silicon in the hole then and just gkue the clip in place. Silicon isn't super strong so it can always be removed later.
