Uneven hood?

The hood (OEM) on my drivers side sticks up above my fender while the passenger side is perfectly flush, I didn't hit anything so what could be causing it? Does anyone else have this problem?

Nope No strut bar, the only thing I have even remotely in that area is the JDM battery cover and pop charger and I don't think either of those are the cause of the problem. I can push on the hood and it will go down a bit but once i let go it just pops back up.

The only place I have a gap is where it meets the drivers side fender, no uneven gaps on the passenger side or grille area.

I'll Have to check the brackets/bolts, But I don't really see what could have caused them to come loose, I've never messed with my hood.

There are two rubber bump stops at the end of the hood near the ends of the grill (imagine the hood closed). You can adjust how far the hood closes by rotating these bump stops. If that doesn't work, check all the rubber gaskets along the perimeter of the engine bay to make sure they aren't in the way.

I'll give that a try in a little bit, thanks
