what brand hood is it? it could be the latch that holds the hood down,if so take it to the dealer and have it looked at.

unscrew the bolts and nuts that on the latch and put sumtn on there to space it out more. because i think the latch is not reaching all the way down to close the hood.

You can use washers to space the latch out
