do you mean the hook is stuck on the right side? try pushing the bumper in a bit.

what might have happened is when you put the radiator shroud back on, it pinched the cable (that happened to me except that I could open it and then it wouldn't close)

as far as getting it OPEN I'm not sure...the dealer would probably be the best place to get that taken care of so that nothing gets messed up
