Default Need some help

ok so i just installed my lip kit a few days ago front lip and sides skirts are perfect no issues with them at all. i ordered all my parts seperate off ebay. and no issues with front and sides. but the rear lip im having issues with. well to start its made of polyurethane and is really flexable. and it fits almost perfect except where you get to the middle. it sags down. i need some suggestions on how to fix this. the kit came with 2 brackets which i installed where it said to on the right and left side. but nothign for the middle and im confused on what i should do to fix this. i need help!!!! im ready to just throw it away cause its frustrating the hell out of me and buy a abs rear instead..... here is a pic of what im talking about.

yea i figured that but i actually like how it looks up higher some and this way i dont have to do anything with the exhaust.
but the guy i bought it from ebay from actually said where i had it on the sides is where it should of been actually. i dont know if its because its not abs plastic maybe its different but he told me the same just get some 3m double sided automotive tape ether that or i might try and lower the sides down some tommorro see if that works.

yea i know that all im suppose to have but for some reason the way this lip mounts is alot different then any other rear lip i have ever mounted. im assuming its the way its made, cause it also mounts alot higher then the reg abs rear lips. assuming cause its made of polyurethane maybe somthing different about it because of that. there is 2 on each side. and then there is 2 brackets that go on the bottom of the lip that have 2 screws each on them. weird lol. but its fixed and sits right now.
