Help with hood latch pls

Hello, is there a way to lower the middle hood latch? My hood has a gap between it and the bumper in the middle portion; tried the two L+R latches but that doesn't help

Thanks in advance

I don't think there is a middle latch. IIRC, the middle is just the safety, the latches are on the L/R side of the hood.

I had a different problem. I had a problem where my hood wouldn't open. Found out I had a stretch cord and replace the hood cable myself but that was me.

I don't think there's a way to adj hood release latch but I did fixed the gap by taking off the bumper and then cautiously pull the middle portion of the radiator cover where it meets the bracket upwards and it seemed to fixed the gap.

Well when I look at the hood side gaps. The right side gap is slightly bigger so I know the hood isn't perfectly centered. Anyway to fix that ?

That would be adjusted at the hinges.
