Default Hood and fender touch on left side,whats wrong?

I dont know if its frame damage or what but if u look at the front of my car (92 civic hatch) the right side everything fits perfect but the left side looks like it doesnt. Sorry no pics. But anyways, when i close the hood theres a little gap between the hood and the bumper and where the headlight is just about where the fender and the hood is, it touched right at the corner and back about 6 inches and no matter what i do it touches. I loosened the bolts and pulled the fender and i had like 2mm of space compared to the 6mm of space on the right side( I guess on how many mm it was) anyways im not sure what it is, i asked tons of people and they dont know either. what do u think

you can loosen the bolts on the hood and adjust it whichever way you need to get even spacing, if it is still not normal looking, you may have some slight body damage or something

yeah, actually the right fender sits perfect. ive tried even hitting that little lip under the fender and i actually made the hole bigger on the fender so i could pull it more but it only moved like a mm or 2

yeah thats what i was gonna say to do, try lengthening the holes a little more to get it a little closer to evenly spaced...its hard to say really without looking at it

well no, i was just saying if i were to see it in person, it would be easier to see what part of the car was off, or where it needed to be adjusted....it would just make it easier
