Default carbon fiber hood lift up

hey,
i have a carbon fiber hood and on the driver side of the hood up where the weather stripping is it lifts up about 1/2 an inch or so, and I was wondering what i could do to fix the problem.
I was thinking that i could just get hood pins and they would make the hood sit correctly but just looking for some input.
Thanks in advance.

There is a rubber stopper on each side of the radiator support that you can twist up and down. Adjust those to get the hood to sit flush.

Also hood pins are a very good idea to get. Personally I wouldn't have a CF hood without them. At highway speeds, mine moved/shook a little bit and I didn't feel comfortable driving with it like that. The metal latch is only bonded to fiberglass so it's not all that strong of a bond to begin with. So shortly after getting the hood I put on hood pins and don't ever worry about my hood flying up anymore if the latch does fail.
