Default how do you adjust the driver fender???

i got a 02 sierra and apparently the guy that had the truck before me had wrecked and had the driver side fender replaced. well they didnt do a good job fitting it. its fine when its dark out, but when the sun is out shining, its makes the metal expand just enough so when i open the door it barely clips the fender. enough so to chip away some of the paint on the inside of the door.

so does anybody know what bolts i need to loosen to adjust it? i tried the 2 bolts between the door jam and the 1 on top of the fender by the battery but that didnt do anything. any help would be appreciated. thanks fellas

your going to have to loosen all of them to push it forward. one at the bottom facing down, door jamb, hood jamb, and one behind the bumper facing out to the side.
