Default how do i adjust hood fitment?

ok so i just got out of the vw game, and bought my first honda, i have a 95 coupe, tealish turquoise color, ive seen it called aztec green, and paradise green, idk what is, this is my first honda, so forgive me.
anyways, the hood when its closed has a small gap inbeetween the bumper/headlights, and ive tried everything i can think of to bring it down. but i have never had an ej1, or a honda for that matter. if this was my jetta, id loosen up the hood release bolts and slide it down.. tried that with this and it didnt do anything. so could someone point me in the right direction here? thanks a ton.
