Also on the bracket, there is a thin tab that lines up with the shape of fender.
Headlights are flush with the wings but maybye a little to high. The gap between the lower part of the headlight and the bumper is too big.
I have to readjust everything.

I see the metal bracket you are talking about. By the past I tried to adjust but I think I did s**t and put back everything into place.

"Also on the bracket, there is a thin tab that lines up with the shape of fender."

Hmmmm I'm not sure to follow you. Do you have a picture of that ?

From what I remember, yes they are flush.

But on the right side it's like something was blocking. Even with lot of force, the middle clip does not want to engage itself on the support.

Maybe your headlight bracket is to far up. Try moving it ever so slightly down. This will get you a bit of clearance to help the bumper to clip onto it easier
