Help with hood alignment

I have an 01 Z06 and the hood does not align with the fenders right. When the hood is closed the sides of the hood are about a 1/4 inch above the fenders. Last night I adjusted the hinge bolt on the hood but it didn't help. The question is do I move the latches down to make it sit lower when closed or is there a different way? I am tired of looking at my hood like this. I will try and post pics of it later today. Thanks in advance fofr the help.

Loosen the latches on the sides and push them down 1/4"

Okay I moved the latches down about a 1/4 inch. The hood is now aligned until it drops down in front of the front fenders, there it is still a little high I would say an 1/8-1/16 of an inch. Like i posted earlier I have already moved the hinges as far as they will go. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance I love this forum.

If the hood is lower than the front fasica, you have to pull off the front fascia and there is a strip that fits along the front that is adjustable up or down.

Here's a picture of it.
