OK, just to close this out, I was able to find some washers and get everything bolted together. Now that everything is nice and tight the front fascia now sits closer to the hood. The fascia sits a little low in the center compared to the left or right edge where it sits even.
I think this is as close as I'll get it an I'm going to call it a day before I break something

Thanks to Yellow Bird for the pictures!
