Default Hood gap from koyo radiator

Just installed koyo radiator but the hood is standing taller. Any recommendations on how to fix this gap?

Did you leave a tool under the hood?

It’s only like a 2mm gap, but still bothers me regardless. I haven’t been back home to check for tools under the hood maybe i can do that next. Although, i will say that the car had previously been in a crash. From the looks of it, the lower radiator brace may have been pushed up a little causing the radiator to be higher

First make sure its not simply the hood height adjustment bumpers. Round rubber cylinders that screw up or down to adjust hood pressure and height.

Or also the hood latch height adjustment.

You adjust the bumpers so hood height matches fender panel height. Whioe also adjusting latch to grab hood without slamming it.
