Try checking the 2 catches in engine bay. They can be moved if you don’t close the hood lid hard enough. I managed to move one of mine whilst cleaning it. Hood wouldn’t close. The catches clip around the U-clip brackets in your photo. Try manually moving the bracket on the side that’s showing high. After checking your photos again it looks like the 2 ‘hooks’ on the catches are pushed forward & the hood is hitting them. Try pushing the hooks backwards. If it works ok, ensure you ‘drop’ the hood from about 30cms to ensure it closes properly. Hope it works for you. Cheers.
