You're missing the rubber "bushing" that goes between the radiator and the radiator support. Find one at a junkyard and see if that helps; it should.

that goes between the foot of radiator and the actual chassis right? I didn't even know anything went there. Does it look similar to the ac radiator rubber bushing pictured right next to it?

you have to get rubber bushings for the bottom of the radiator.. then you gotta push it down and under the top metal frame.. its sitting way to high.. im suprise that your hoood can close..

I dont think that they are similar.. if I were you just go to a honda dealer and ask them for 2.. make sure you push it way down into the holes first.. then you push the top of the radiator down and under the top metal frame.. then bolt it down after its under it..
