Expert Reply:
We have had some other people have a bit of trouble with the re-installation of the bumper fascia when installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76227 or Curt Trailer Hitch # C13410 on your 2017 Subaru Outback.
What has been recommended to help resolve this issue, both in the linked installation video and then by one of our customers in a review (see accompanying cut out) is to make sure you begin by first lining up the section directly under the tail lights is a big help when putting the bumper fascia back on your Outback. Doing this will help engage the rest of the fascia to line up correctly.
