Exhaust heat shield

Just noticed my R rear exhaust heat shield is under the diffuser not inside of it like the L side. Can I bend it back into place or do I have to remove the bumper? Any advice/instructions appreciated! No idea how this happened. Probably been that way since I got the car but never noticed.

Thanks,

Looks like you’re diffuser or bumper was removed once before and reinstalled incorrectly. Not a difficult fix. Just remove the diffuser and reinstall it back making sure the shield is tucked inside of it. There might be a bolt missing at the corner to hold the shield up from bottom of car, you’d probably want to get one and bolt it back. Diffuser is actually not hard to remove, several bolts on the bottom and all clips on the top. Just don’t remove the bumper.

ill take look at mine and post a pick, but yeah looks like it could be bent up - I'd likely just have the dealer or shop do it...
