Default Hood Alignment Question

I noticed my hood has slightly uneven airgaps on it, and it looks like the hood is alittle too far towards the passenger side of the car. Question is -- how hard is it to realign? It looks like the hinges are held down to the frame with a couple of nuts on each bracket. Is it as simple as loosening the brackets and shifting to the correct position, or are there any 'tricks' involved?

Any pointers would be great :D
