A couple of pics will help, if you lower your latch on the left too far (and the rubber stop) you may get into adjusting front fascia and headlight.... You can go down a little on the left, up a little on the right and raise the fascia at the fender opening to start, see how that helps and go from there.

If it just started doing this and had been working fine, try spraying the latches up by the radiator with something like WD40. Do not lube the hinges though or the hood will never stay up again. Ever.

If you do adjust the hood, be SURE to avoid allowing the front edge of the hood rest on the polycarbonate headlight covers as they will eventually break...and they are expensive to replace. I test and confirm adequate spacing by being able to slide a business card easily between the hood and the polycarb covers.
