Fiesta loose lights

Hi, hope someone can help.

On my Fiesta (1.4 petrol mk6 3dr 2008) booth headlights are a little bit loose, as well as the bumper. Possibly had an accident before.
If im trying to tighten the screws which holds the lights, they are just turning around. As i saw, i cant change the thing where the screws goes.

Can i replace that rubber thing the scews goes into, to hold the lights?
Or do i realy have to change the whole front of the car to fix this?
I was thinking about to just glue the scews in, but its not realy a good solution...

Any solution?

Are you sure you're not turning the adjusters?

Picture would help.

It's been a while since I had one of those in pieces but I'm sure the screw goes into a plastic insert, which should be readily available from Ford.

Front bumpers on that model Fiesta are often loose, usually as they have a very flimsy clip arrangement holding them to the front panel at the bottom, underneath the radiator. They very often come unclipped or even break, causing the whole bumper to move.

Thanks for the replies.
Andi, that thing is for mk7. On mk6 its a part of the headlight.
Its all good anyway. I been on a scrapyard today and got a bumper in colour i need, lights, and that plastic insert the screws goes into.
All this for a 100, another 40 for fitting.
