Default Hood alignment

Any easy way to go about fixing this? First picture shows hood slightly raised when fully shut compared to the other side which looks normal. Already tried adjusting the rubber stoppers at the top of the hood and nothing happened? Any ideas?

There's two bolts, think 13mm, that hold each latch mechanism, one each side where the hood latches. Loosen them just a little and you can tap that one side down just a touch! Tighten back up and check and repeat as necessary. I've swapped hoods when I did the Camaro vent mod so I was constantly adjusting mine. Hope this helps! Go small adjustments! Picture shows passenger side but drivers side looks just like it and of course same spot, drivers side.
