Bonnet/Hood alignment off when closed

Hi all,

Is there any place where you can tweak the alignment of the hood/bonnet when it's closed? It seems to be slanted to one side and I can see it from the gaps between the head lamps and the stops.

Try adjusting the black internal hood stop and that didn't work..

Think I've found the reason. The 2 metal clips/brackets on both sides of the bonnet latch is somewhat loose. The left one more than the right, hence when closed, it shifts slightly. Pretty weird and with only one nut (not sure if it's torx or phillips, pretty dark when I was looking), it seems to be a matter of time before this happens.
