Default VIS hood on JDM/ITR conversion

I just finished my JDM ITR conversion and the VIS carbon fiber hood doesn't quite fit right. One side sticks up higher than the other. The driver side near the headlight fits real snug and the passenger side sits high. Any suggestions?

It looks naked without the lip!

Hit the other side with a rubber hammer.

I adjusted the rubber props, there doesn't seem to be too much play with the hood bolts. I'll try again. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions, I finally got the hood to fit properly. I had to move the hood latch further down. VIS rocks.
