Default Rear bumper seam alignment

Was at a car show today and noticed my right side bumper seam where it meets the rear quarter is much larger than the drivers side, has anyone had luck adjusting this?? I know there's a clip where there are adjustments you can make, just seeing if anyone has luck doing there own adjustments. Thanks

This is what mine looks like and the body shop is being a real turd about fixing it since I picked it up from them three months ago. Apparently their "lifetime warranty" expires when you drive off the property

That's straight up BS. I would go back and demand that they fix....or go above their head a the dealership. We pay 60K-100K for these cars and they should stand behind them, esp if under warranty. If not just let them know you are getting a lawyer involved, usually will change their tune about the situation. Mine is in the shop now and has been completely taken apart. I'm not leaving the place until I'm 1000% satisfied with the results. Good luck!

Was at the shop this morning, on the phone with the insurance company, and am documenting this comedy show. A half-butted job was done all the way around.

My 2014 had a panel alignment issue on the right rear quarter panel. It would bulge out anytime the temperature was over 90. I took it to the dealer three times and they finally just replaced the entire mounting bracket and hardware. No problems since.
