Default Hood won't close after 2200r install

I've had the good off of the car for about a year while I installed a built motor and swapped out my 2200 HD for a new 2200r. I also installed new stock motor mounts. Buttoning up today, the passenger side of the hood doesn't stay shut unless I deliberately press down on the corner. It will stay shut, but there is a noticeable gap on the passenger side where the blower is. Has anyone had this issue? Do I need a spacer on the cradle? Hopefully, I'm not the only one that has had this.

Assume you have tried screwing in the rubber bump adjusters...

I didn't because the gap is near the lower part of the passenger side. Right where the blower is.

Do you have an aftermarket hood? Normally that is not an issue. (assuming you're using our brackets)
