you need to open the hood, put a piece of cardboard or cloth under the nose of the hood. Loosen the two hinge brackets on the hood (4 bolts)... watch out as the hood may fall down towards the car and chip the nose of the hood (this is why you put cardboard in there). Move the hood "down" a few cm at a time until you get it where you want it. Just be careful not to chip the paint. Check the full stroke of the hood so as it isn't hitting anyting, little screws or anything like that as you open and close it.

The hinges have slotted holes.
You can also remove the headlight covers and lower the head lights. Then with the hood down but not latched, Loosen the bolts and CAREFULLY adjust the hood. When it is aligned and the hood to fender gaps are even, Tighten the bolts and then install the headlight covers.
Without the headlight covers installed access to the hinge bolts is very easy.
