Judging from your recent pics, your hood needs more adjustment. You need to do some homework to understand all that is involved with adjusting the hood with the hinges. That process is all laid out in
my Tech Tip. The hood is not fully adjusted until the hood springs are attached and the hood hinges are once again adjusted. That is all in that Tech Tip as well.
You will need the hood bumpers installed on the hood and the upper radiator baffle (that is what the hood latch is bolted to) for final adjustment.
