you have two plastic mountings at the rear of the car a 19mm bolt goes through these and holds the bumper up, these are a pig to change, the bolt is often corroded into the mounting, you end up striping the bumper and destroying the mounting on removal, the rear bumper is also located on two plastic guides one at either side just rearward of the rear wheel arch, chances are you will have damaged one, some, or all of these mounts, you may be lucky, but not a cheap or easy fix if things are seized
