Misaligned Hood

I did a search and found some various posts about BUmpers/Fenders and other pieces not being even but figured I'd ask about this..

My brother pointed out the other day that the gap between the hood on my front driver side fender is much greated than the gap between the hood and the passenger side fender..

Was wondering if this is an easy fix? More or less if this is something that is simple as loosening up the hood mounts and adjusting and re-tightening or something I should just maybe see if the dealer will take care of it?

My right front fender came loose a few months after getting repaired from hitting a deer. It closed the gap from the fender to the hood making it smaller than the left side. I just pushed it back by hand and retightened up the two bolts on top of the fender with it in the correct position. If your issue is as simple as mine I would just do that. If it's something else, I would take it to the dealer.

I'd suggest you go with your plan A ..... adjust it yourself.
