I guess it just depends on what hood they ship. Some are better then others.

adjust your latch. I've seen it a hundred times. If that doesn't work shoot me a PM and I'll give you some more pointers.

there should be 2 10mm bolts that hold your latch mechanism in place. Simply unbolt the bolts and slide the latch mechanism down about 1/4-1/2". You may need to remove your front bumper to get at the bolts on the latch mechanism.

There are actually 3 for the latch mechanism. You will need to remove your grill, that way you can actually tighten the bolts down when the hood is shut.

Get the flex head gear wrench set. I wrench a TON and these are the best wrenchs Ive ever used! I thought you had already adjusted the latch. Thats how mine looked after adjustment. I guess I just got a real bad one,lol.

I have had to use a hammer to knock the latch toward the rear of the car just so little. Then I adjusted the latch up and down to get the proper height.
