Zl1 rear bumper/diffuser reinforcement

Hello my ZL1 big brothers. My SS needs some help. So I added a OEM ZL1 rear diffuser into my SS rear bumper. I used the spider web looking crash absorber the zl1 diffuser, all the oem side support brackets and mud guards... but no matter what the diffuser is "warped" hard to tell in my dark pictures but... it looks like I am missing a support bracket or something to make it straighten out. Can someone show me how the rear diffuser connects to your rear bumper? I can't help but think I am missing something.

No longer a 5th gen owner, but still an enthusiast. Ask me about my Front crash bars!

Guess I’m not really sure if your missing something but you could do what I did with my aftermarket diffuser.

It bolts at several points on the bottom of the crash bar.

Wasn’t very hard. Jigsaw some bolts. The plastic was from menards and I made a template from cardboard first.
