Loose Bumper

Well, I tried to do a search, but for some reason I am not allowed. Anyway, I recently went wheeling and I hit my front bumper pretty hard. Didn't bend it or ding it or anything, but it is really loose. Upon further inspection, it is only being held on by the bottom two bolts. I don't know exactly how to fix tighten the top bolts. I tried and they just don't seem to wanna tighten. So, my question is how do I tighten the bumper to the bracket. Should I just cut off the bolts and then use new bolts or what? What has everyone else done. I know that I am not the only one out here who has done this. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Drew
