You can adjust the hood latch left and right to get the hood better fitting. You can try the hood hinges too, they have some play.

rubber bump stops will fix your problem... look for them in the corners..

Thank you guys, I fixed it correctly
The hood latch was problem.
It was hard to adjust.
and rubbers play just little.

I appreciate it

Can you share what you have done with the latch? Mine is a bit misaligned like yours (not as bad). I've done some adjustments with the latch and the rubber bumpers but they don't help.

Is there any adjustment that can be done on the hinge? From the hinge, my hood seems higher on the driver's side when using the driver's side fender as reference.

I didn't touch any rubber bumpers and hinge. Rubbers didn't help my hood.
Actually, I don't know what is hinge

Driver side of mine also was higher.
I adjusted the latch to passenger side a very little bit.
You don't need to rotate it if yours is like first picture of mine.
If you rotate it, it will be misaligned in first picture.

I think your latch is also pulling your hood to driver side like mine, so it is a bit misalinged.
So I think you need to adjust the latch to passenger side little bit so that the latch doesn't pull to driver side any more.

Sorry for my horrible English

You want some pics of my latch and hood?
I can do it if you want
Good luck

Thanks for sharing what you have done. I dont' think pictures will be necessary, thanks. I will try playing with the position of the latch as you have described.

The hinge is where the hood pivots or rotates from when you move it up or down. My hood seems higher at the hinge position on the driver's side.

A steel hammer would do the trick.
