If you have an aftermarket bumber they are usually painted rigid fiberglass. The dealers sometimes leave it up to the customer to figure out how they attach to the car. We used "lag" screws into "lag" shields epoxied into the bumper . We used large fender washers and used the holes that the original bumper mounts passed through.

It may help to remove the inner shield and remove one of the headlight assemblies and you should be able to see and access the bumper.

Yes, it seems as you describe. One-piece fiberglas. It also seems the headlight buckets are in the way of the bolts.
