Default Hood adjustment

It seems like my driver side does not sit flush & adjusting the rubber bump stop doesn’t fix the issue
It feels like it’s loose around the release hook a bit
Can I adjust that or can it be something else?
Thanks Everyone

The hood catch mechanism can be adjusted, it’s going to hold the front edge of the hood in tension, and the rubber bumpers int the front corners set the fender gap. There is also some adjustment in the hinges, the fenders can also be adjusted a little bit, and even shimmed if there is something really wrong.
If one of the front corners is just a little low, then you should be able to resolve it with the rubber bump stops. I am sure YouTube will have some DIY videos to show you how to properly adjust the latch and hinges if you need some guidance
