Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

If your on about the loose metal plates, then get them even from either side, then hold them about 5 - 7mm from the back. Should line up no problems.

There are two different types of bolt available. One is a standard bolt which is a pig to get centered when trying to start the thread. The other has a small taper right on the end which sorts that problem for you. I always shove a screwdriver inbetween the bumper and the jacking point too, this stops the plate from flexing down in it's cage whilst starting the thread.

Or cut the jacking points off your chassis....

This means you can use a nut and bolt to fit the bumper... as you'll now be able to get to the bottom of the bolt.

Also give a slighty improved approach angle
