I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra with a hood alignment issue. This is my first attempt at fixing any type of body issue. The hood on this car is in good alignment up by the windshield. However, as you move toward the front of the car, the hood raises up above the body on the sides. The raised height is about the same on each side of the car. I recorded a video of the hood.

There is usually a rubber bumper, on the core support at each front corner. They thread in & out to make adjustments at the front edge. They may need to be turned in (clockwise) a little? Are you sure the hood is latching fully? Not just latching to the safety? Corners look high, but the center looks OK. I would think that screwing the corner adjustments down would loosen things up & make things worse. Hood might be tweaked & need a little gorilla adjustment. Hard to say without being there.
