First check your adjustable hood bumpers on the core support to make sure they are at the proper height so that your hood sits flush with your fenders when closed and latched. If it sits high, then these need to be adjusted down (i.e., turned in or tightened). If that's adjusted correctly, then adjust the hood striker "pin" on the underside of the hood by turning it counterclockwise half a turn and then test. Adjust further in or out as necessary. The hood release itself is meant to be fixed in place without adjustment, but it can be "tweaked," so to speak.
