Chet ;
 Hi - was it hit ? well  I would  tighten  up the two bolts on the back right and left hood bracket ,  and see if that will draw them in first , if not than you  might have to adj the  hinge brackets , , you will need a buddy to help you and  than loosen it a little and bring it down apx. 1/4 inch. max. no more . than it should be fine. .
or you just might have to play with it till you get it where you want it..   ok
