Default Hood latch problems

I just purchased a COMP.FAB carbon fiber hood from one of the members on here..The only problem that i have is that the Hood latches but dosnt go all the way down like the stcok hood it has still 1-2 inches to go and i cant get it to go..I have searched on here and google and done the little things like take the bumpers out and move the hood latch all the way down..But it still dosnt want to go..Any of you guys have any tricks to make it work..! Please let me know if you do..

Thanks alot

I dont think its hitting anywhere that was the first thing i though i check my CIA pipeing and it wasnt that but i will check out some spacers..Will it effect the body line of the hood...(lineing up with the fenders) though...?

Thanks alot
