hood hinges adjustment


i replaced  my  hood hinges  on my  car  and  bolted on the  hood   tonight  ,  the  hood   fits  ok  on  one   side  but  is to  high  on  the  other   side   (  higher  than  the  fender   about  one  inch )

i   checked the  hinges  and  they  are bolted even  on  the  fender  on each  side  , i dont  see any  possible adjusment  on the  hinges

STRANGE  !!!

ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED THE HINGES ARE NOT THE SAME ON EACH SIDE

THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SPRING ON ONE SIDE DIES NOT HAVE THE SAME ANGLE ONE HAS A GREATER ANGLE THAN THE OTHER ( I AM REFERING TO THE BRACKET THE CLOSEST TO THE FIREWAL )

I WILL POST PICS IN A COUPLE OF DAYS
