should fit up easily , defoo a 2 man job to line it up correctly ( same size gap on each side ) if they are correct then maybe the problem is the bonnet itself ( bent or warped ) . also you will notice on the metel stud with a spring at the front in middle that you can adjust it in height (for it to sit higher or lower )
