Bumper repair

Has anyone had any luck repairing the bumper on a facelift car? The top prongs between the headlight broke and I have been having a devil of a time trying to repair it. 3 body shops said no, it not repairable.
I’ve tried fiberglass backing and it simply separates since the bumper material is more flexible.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This?
I've done ONLY one and we had to add a metal flat bar splint fashioned on the backside with epoxy (and shoe goo too for flexibility) to hold it in place. This was about 5 years ago.
As for the front finish, I do know it was taken in for front plastic weld procedure.
There are BS that do plastic welding repairs, have you looked into that?
