Light issue

Ok so i have a set of 2000 integra lights but the housing is broken wont beable to screw onto the car.so i took the glass from the 00 and put it on The 96 housing now theres still a gap between the bumper and lights(the front bumper is from a 00)…
Does the housing make a difference where it leaves the gap?
Would upload a pic but cant from my phone
