Bumper problem!

Ok so Ive had this problem a few days now and I dont know how to fix it. I did not hit anyone nor did anyone hit me. My bumper on the passenger side underneath the headlight is loose and there is a small gap between the two pieces. I can push it back in and it looks normal but it pops right back out. here are some pics.

anyone have any ideas? take it to a body shop?
 
No need for a shop to look at it. Just take the front bumper off, inspect the clips, then if it's all good, reattach it. Should take an hour tops.
 
happens when you park too close forward to curb and underneath of front bumper hits it then pulls it when you back out. happens to mine as well now and then. pops back in easily, no need to take out bumper.
 
well I got the best of both worlds lol. undid the bumper on the messed up side only to find that those teeth/clip things would grab the bumper, but not very tight so there was still a small gap. So a 3 inch strip of double sided tape did the rest and its totally unnoticable. Thanks for the advice guys
