The bumper is plastic attached to an inner steel insert. I'm guessing the insert is bent. Good luck

Maybe the bumper slid out of the tracks. I was told when you install the bumper, you have to make sure the tabs line up or else you'll get a gap. Try taking it out with a torx 5 driver. I think there are two by the exhaust and then remove the 2 bolts (9mm?) from the rear wheel wells. Then check what's under there.
