All you have to do is loosen the bracket bolt under the passenger fender and place a jack under the bumper on the passenger side, Jack it up until it has the same gap as the other side and tighten the bracket back up, the bracket socket size is 15mm i believe.
As for as the upper trim, that should snap back in place, the tab may be bent but all you need to do is straighten it out and push it back through the slot in the bumper.
I know it sucks, that happened to me two weeks ago, at least you do not need a new bumper like i did. MINE was indeed crushed, even my clear corner light was popped out.
The bitch that hit left as well without leaving any insurance info or anything!!!
NOTE: you will have to remove the bottom valence before jacking up the bumper, you will see the bolt head that i placed the jack on when you take off the valence.

well i dont see any scratches or scuffs on anything so i would say just jack it back into place and maybe put some E6000 or some kind of window sealer on the back side of the cap if it doesnt hold
