I noticed my grill sticking out now I on the drive side. Can I fix this out should I get a new grill? I noticed the top bracket is broken.

Think I would find some similar scrap plastic and plastic-weld on a new ear with soldering iron, drill it and bolt it back on. Might be a lower mount snapped off too.

Plastic welding with these "hot staples" would probably work

Have you ever taken it out? Had my truck at my mechanic and they screwed it up a bit. Realized they didn’t align the lower point of connection/mount.

I don’t think a plastic welder is going to fix the underlying issue. Figure out what that is first then go from there.
