If the hood flew up while you were driving the foundation to the hinges also likely got bent up to some degree.

Quite probably even with new hood, core support, hinges, fenders etc. the alignment is still off until you get the body straightened out so the hinges sit properly.

Is that an OEM front bumper?

Try a OEM grill and try re setting the fenders to line up better.
