Default Front Nose Alignment

I had an incident with a deer about 2 weeks ago and I have been trying to get all the new body parts aligned. I have everything aligned except the new stalker front nose. The problem is I can get the sides to align to the fenders but i cant get the center to align to the hood. i lift up on the front nose and the front nose hits the bumper and doesnt move any farther.

Sounds as if the bumber is bent downward not allowing the nose to come up? Maybe the bumper arms are bent. Try a portapower or a jack and see if you can sweak the bumper up some. I don't know for sure. Maybe you can trim the bottom of the bumper off to allow room for the nose to come up, it is metal or plastic? Either way I think it could be done.
