if you remove the upper grille, you'll see 3 bolts that hold it in place.
loosen them and play with it

Did you twist the rubber stoppers all the way down? They sit near the headlight mounts, and they might be holding the hood up too high to lock securely.

If you do not have them already, I would advise investing in hood pins or hood locks.
