Got the bumper repaired and now there is moisture in the headlights?

My gf got a 2013 e92 m3 and had the bumper repaired, as well as one of the headlight assemblies replaced. Just got it back today and there is moisture in both the housings? Should we be worried?

The one headlight assembly is brand new. Like literally 1 days old. Where is the moisture coming in?

I feel it can be the seals or just under neath bear splash panels where you can unscrew to replace low beam headlight. I've been dealing with it for awhile it's annoying. I'm probably gonna replace the unit. It def resealing is a cheaper option once you pull it out

Maybe they took the headlights and bulbs out and moisture got in?

Not normal, but you don't need to touch the headlights to take the bumper off. Are you sure they touched them?

They replaced one of the headlights and took the other headlight off to check all the clips as there was an unreported accident on the car we bought.

The passenger side headlight was completely replaced though and seems to get moisture coming and going. Is that ok?

Sorry for the delayed response, I didn't get the notifications.
