I hope someone can help you here who has more experience with hood
alignment than I do. What small things I attempted, it always seemed
that the movement was counter-intuitive. Raising something up didn't
lower what I thought it would. You might get the hood bumpers first; see
if the right-hand hood bumper raises that side up a bit and lowers the
left.
If the left front is a bit low, that's the place to start. Just don't be
surprised at what moves - it could be anything.
