Default Hood/fender gap

I have a 1998 ex coupe and my bro did a 99 front end conversion on it. I recently had a issue where my alarm kept going off because the hood pin wasn't been depressed.

I've already tried adjusting the latch and also the rubber ***** on the support area and I still can't get the LED to go off because the hood won't sit flush on the driver side. I have to push down on the hood then it goes out but the hood raise back up. 3rd and 4th pic shows the gap.

Is this an alignment issue or is it the hood? Can it be fixed and how?

Can't you just adjust the hood latch and the little rubber stoppers in the corners?

Just bring the latch on the core on the left sdie down just a lil and bringing the rubber stops
higher. those rubber things should stay about halfway in/out.

the latch is where you start. just move each side up or down a little at a time. then get the rest with your rubber stops.

edit---- also what the guys above me said. move your sensor if you can after lining the hood right. I dont have a sensor in my 97.

I get what you are saying but the look I get from the fender is almost like what you call a warp. but I'll definitely try adjusting the latch and stuff. It's just too damn cold.
