The Factory Manual has directions on how to lower the hinges if they hit the hump. They call for the use of a hammer. If more movement is needed after the hammer, enlarging the hinge bolt holes is called for.
I have a question before you break out the hammer.
Is your gap, where the hood meets the cowl, the same the full width when the hood is closed?
