How is the bumper oriented with respect to the flange? Is the backing running directly along the edge of the sheetmetal flange (nearest the viewer), or retained within the interior corner at the base of the flange? If the former, you're apparently fine (on this point); if the latter, it might not be allowed due to the position of the frame perimeter.

Either method of support could be made to work.
