My hood sticks up on the right side slightly can’t figure out what’s causing this any ideas?

Has it always been that way or did you just buy it?

Have you tried adjusting the rubber stops on each side?

Pretty sure it’s always been like this. Bought it recently and just noticed. I haven’t adjusted anything, wasn’t really sure where to begin. The front bit by the head light is the only part misaligned

There is a rubber stop on the left and right of the core support that will adjust the front of the hood up or down. Clockwise = Down and Counterclockwise = Up. Adjust 1/4 turn until you reach the desired alignment.

The more I look at your pictures it looks more like your grille surround is out of alignment.

It might be best before you start adjusting to stop by and have a collision center take a look at it.
