To adjust the hood we had 3 people helping. One on each side to tighten or loosen the bolts and one in the front to push it back toward he cowl. Another idea is to check the play in the hinges. Sometimes there is too much slop and you cannot get the hood to fit no matter how much you adjust. If I recall the latch plate is on elongated holes so it could be adjusted a bit. I put a scribe mark on the shrould so I could see where I was adjusting it.
