The first thing you need to do is align your hood properly. Do this while the fenders are down and out of the way.
An important factor in this process is that the fenders are adjusted to fit the hood, not visa versa.
Once your hood is aligned, you need to raise the rear of the fender to remove that gap. Looking at your pictures/video, you may need to make the holes larger so that the fender can come up far enough. I recommend completely removing the bolts attaching the inner fenders to the toeboard and parking brake bracket to aid in moving the fenders with less restriction. These can be easily replaced once you tighten up the fender-to-outer cowl bolts.
