Yeah, it's a very exact setup, that rad support has to be perfectly straight or the hood won't latch worth of ****. I've been through this many times with guys who have had light hits but don't feel like paying for a whole new rad support.
What I've found to be the best?
Oh yes, get the 'ol slap hammer out.
Drill it right into the top of the rad support. It's your best bet at setting the rad support 100% so the hood'll close, and I can almost GUARANTEE that's the problem.
