The easiest way to do that is to open the hood and have an assistant hold the front edge while you loosen the hinge-to-fender bolts. With the bolts loose, have your assistant push up on the front edge of the hood (that will pivot the hinges), then re-tighten the bolts.

I agree with this . The hinge has to be pivoted to fit . I have seen this many times . Being in your case I would think you still don't have it adjusted correctly .
