They are always very close.

Try elongating the holes on the mounting lip a little so that you can move the bumper back a bit. Use larger flat washers.

Maybe the rear of your car has taken a hit at some stage?

I have found the new bumpers are a slightly different bend to the old ones and therefore do not fit as well
