Default Hood gap help!

I bought the shell from a guy and i guess i didnt notice the gap till later on but

heres the link to the picture

What is causing that gap? Evidently he did a 96-98 to 99-00 conversion. Is my radiator support not straight? or does it have the wrong hood?

My car is a 96 Ek

Check where the hood mounts to the hinges to fix the rear, then check the rubber stops and latch to fix the front.

So it has nothing to do with my frame? I will take more pictures from the top view because my friend is saying that the fender is to wide out.
