Default Hood doesn't close all the way

i got into an accident and my radiator support isn't badly bent where the hood would latch at but it's bent by where the headlights bolt up, it would latch like if you were to pop the hood but it wont close all the way. someone help? It only get's to that part in the picture, it wont close all the way.

There is no help. That's physical damage you're talking about. To be expected when a car has been in an accident. The only fix is to fix it. Replace the rad support.

Yep. unless their is something busted with regard to the hood latch mechanism then the radiator support is tweaked and not going to allow for the hood to close properly.

take it to a body shop and have them bend the rad support back in place or pull it
