If you take some close ups I will compare your install to mine, or vice versa.
Well after messing with it a little more, it is the pass side that is giving the problems. The car hasn't ever been in a wreck so that cannot be it. i'll see what I can do.
When I let down the hood slightly to where the locking part pops in that is where it is starting to hit, the driver side is flush, while the pass side has a gap and isn't flush.

I'll get some close up tomorrow for yall and see what we come up with.
This was one that I thought I wasn't going to have any problems with, lol. never say never.
