There's rubber bumpers or stops at the back of the hood that adjust the height of where it's at when it comes down. You may also have to check the hood latches themselves. The male part on the bottom is adjustable. Compare the low side hood latch to the high side hood latch and see if there's any differences in height.
On the hood latch, you want to be careful how you adjust it, because if it's too 'tight' the hood won't close or will pop open.

There are also little black rubber bumpers that are mounted in the rain trough so you can adjust mid-points of the hood. You can shave them to any height you need. Location does not matter, use wherever they are needed. See one in the bottom left-hand corner of this pic:
