Surprise ! Rear bumper cover damage DIY Repair?

Just my luck! Looks like someone backed into my rear bumper and to no ones surprise no note!

Does this look like it can be fixed by a DIYer with a heat gun?

It looks like one of the rear clips is bent? Could I pull and adjust the bumper so I don't have any gaps or do I need to have the bracket replaced?

Doesn't look like it got creased or anything. I'd be curious if this could be DIY'd out.

Any suggestions anyone?

I plan on on pulling the bumper this week so I guess I will find out if the clip can be bent back. Anyone have experience adjusting the rear bumper to eliminate the gap or is my bumper cover shot ?

Did you have any luck doing a DIY for your rear bumper? I have very minor damage from when someone bumped me and left the scene as well. Looking for advice as well. Thanks!
