If this means you now have 7.25" of frame, measured from the corner to the inside opening, then I'm afraid it's still not legal. You must have 8" of frame on each side of the vertex (the outside corner of the frame) per [R27]. I presume you have 3/4" of plywood extending past the corner, to overlap with the other bumper, but that doesn't count toward the 8".
I would spend the time between now and your first competition cutting two pieces of 8" channel, and making new front bumpers, so your team can do a quick replacement on practice/inspection day.
Best of luck to you.
