Riley, if this whole post is about the tiny 1" wide vertical face of the L bumper, its likely that vertical section was a design feature by Tom Tjaarda to prevent the bumper from either climbing or submarining when impacting other car's bumpers in minor collisions. Or it was a DOT or Ford design mandate for the same reason. Compared to the surface area of the rest of the car's nose, that small vertical section will have a negligable effect on aerodynamic lift or dive but in the event of a collision, a slope could slightly increase the damage..

From what I see it's about eliminating that little eyebrow section of fender showing unevenly over the bumper.

The OP is describing the bumper as not fitting presuming that it is not part of the original design.

Evans design eliminates it.

I think that is what his displeasure is about?
