Default NE 1 ever fix front bumper plastic flange where three nuts attach to fender?

The whole flange ripped off the bumper when I caught it on a curb .... I'm thinking maybe some gorrilla glue and a piece of angle iron to reattach it to the bumper skin ......???? also what is the best repair resin to fix a rip in the bumper skin??? Thanks in advance to all!!!

Hi
I have the same problem with the flange, ripped top to bottom. Looking to replace but can only find replacement bumpers with flanges. I'd like to repair it, but dont know where to start. Told when I bought it that the car handed been lowered but we cant be the only people with this problem, surely?
