You might want to add some shims to that robot, to bring the new frame extensions in line with the trailer hitch. Otherwise, the back of those extensions will lie inside of the (convex) bumper perimeter polygon, and therefore, any bumpers attached to them will be non-standard, and illegal (for extending outside of the robot volume).

And upon closer inspection, it looks like your plastic cover and its mounting screws also extend past the bumper perimeter. You may want to also shim the trailer hitch outward slightly, to account for this fact.

I know it's only an inch. For the same reasons that "it's only an inch" is not a valid response to "your robot is too tall", you should address this issue.
