front spoiler question

i just had my body/paint guy install my front lip and i just noticed the corners/ends (at the wheelwells) kinda dip down. the lip should be completely horizontal to the ground. when i tried test fitting it, i noticed it was hard to get the ends to line up right, so iguess he had a problem and didnt force it into place. now its all secured but the ends are not straight like the rest.
to you guys who did it yourself or have experience fitting the lip, did you find it difficult to fit the ends ??
any suggestions what to do now? its nice and snug but i dont know if i can live with it this way..and no need to bash the guy he does great work

what I had to do is sand the ends where it wraps around the well so it will have a tighter fit. Mine had some "extra" material in the corners in that area that was in the way for it have a snug fit so sanding it all down helped alot.

he used double side tape and the screw at the wheel well to secure it.
i called him today and talked about it . he said it was the highest the ends would go up. so it was apparently too snug a fit. theo nly thing i can think of is that since it is painted and wasnt all that warm, it was difficult to mold it. oh well it looks ok to me , ill put new pics on my cardomain and let you guys check it out later-
