I think there are bumpers or "stoppers" that the hood sits on right behind the fascia. They are probably on the outside corners. You could probably unscrew these a little to raise the hood a little to off set the gap. Just don't go too high, don't want to drive around looking like the hood is popped.

That's because you have to, then adjust the latch. The whole front end is full of shims and slotted hole for making adjustments. You just have to spend some time at it.
