If it's just the pin that doesn't fit in, you just need to adjust the hood.
You don't have the jdm hood with the wide headlights do you? I know its a dumb question, but still.
Adjusting the hood latch is easy, just make sure the hinges are lined up right (for the gaps on the fenders and stuff), then loosen the two screws that hold on the female end of the hood latch, but leave them semi tight so it dosen't slide around on its own. Next, push the hood almost closed (right before it latches). This will push the little female receptacle where its supposed to be, and if the screws weren't too loose, it'll stay there, too. Now you just need to tighted the screws down carefully without moving it.

you have to prop the rad support hood with washers to raise it up a bit to make it latch.
heres an article about it:
