Default Gah! Replaced hood but doesnt fit flush

Like, the one side is higher than the other. I tried adjusting the latch at the front. No dice. I tried adjusting the hood cushions. No dice. Any fresh ideas?

put washers on the other side to match!

seriously though i had the same problem once with my hood, turned out that the radiator support was bent and the radiator was pushing up on the left side of the hood.

problem solved using a 3 pound hammer, 2 and a half hours, and all my strength.
