Default Carbon Fiber Hood Fitment Issues

Alright, so as the thread title says I have cf fitment issues and it's bothering me a bunch. I don't have aero latches yet which I will be getting fairly soon but I wanted to see if any of you may know a way that I would be able to correct this.

I have to remove the front bumper in order to do so right? I wouldn't mind if I did but I just want to know if it's necessary.

I adjusted the latch and it actually helped a bunch with the passenger side popping up, it's almost flush now which is awesome, thanks. Now the only thing is that it's slightly off centered and that type of adjustment would be the hinges. Loosening the bolts on the hood, there was no play for adjusting but I haven't tried loosening the bolts of the hinges attatched to the car itself. I'm gonna try that.

Sounds good that things are working in your favor. Good luck in adjusting it and getting it to sit how you want it
