Need urgent help with solving an unclear frame issue
I was installing a CF seibon hood yesterday and when I installed it, it would not close correctly. Also, I installed the hood that was on my car on another car and it would not close/align as well. 
I checked my hood thoroughly and saw that the lock (or whatever it's called) is welded. (Picture below)

This means that the lock mechanism has moved to the left I assume, and if this is the case, the entire radiator core support probably has moved to the left too since the lock mechanism is installed on the radiator core support. The radiator core support is installed on the frames, so this means the car has bent frames?!
I checked the frames and I don't see anything wrong with them (pictures below)


I took the front bumper off and removed the brace to check what's wrong but could not find out yet.
Can anyone help me out with this riddle?

None of us can tell from pictures like that, just as you can't see it yourself. Body shops have specs that can be measured, or you might just put the car on a tire alignment rack and see what the situation may be. i think you've got some problems.
