Latch rod lays flat against hood side panel when open. When closed, it catches the lower end of the slanted bracket and as it rotates against the inward slope ( moving up the bracket ), it pulls hood side tight against the body. Are you able to tweak the locking rod a little ( bend it in ) to allow it to hook the lower edge of the bracket ? I can't recall if the catches have a slotted hole to allow some adjustment or not, but sounds like you got yours to move a little. Have you tried pressing on the corner as you rotate the latch mechanism ?
