If you have one, or can get a hold of a slide hammer with a hook, you could pull the bottom out that 1/2" or whatever is needed to get all holes to line up.

That way there would be no enlarging or drilling of any holes in the bumper cover or your newly painted skid plate.
That's a great idea, wish I'd thought of it at the time.

Though I don't have a slide hammer, I think that a bit of muscle applied in the right direction to a wrecking bar, would tweak that thang into submission...
