Hood Adjustment..??

Hey guys,

Awhile back I swapped my factory hood for a c/f one. Then I swapped back. Ever since, the front of the hood has had this slight rattle to it, like it's not 100% tightened down. It's never given me any issues or anything, however it's just rather annoying when going over rough roads. Never really noticed it over summer with the windows down, but now with them up I have.. Is there any adjustment on this or how do I go about getting to to fit tighter?

Thanks!

The adjustment are maybe loose because u swapted it two times or maybe the other hood forced the brackets... Take a look at it

On the top of the front fascia area there are two rubber hex thingies the hood sits on and when you twist them they move up and down. Adjust those. It will fix the noise.

See...I circled them from somebody else's engine bay...look to the right and left and you'll see the light green circles.
