Is it aligned correctly? Have you tried loosing the bolts on the hood and adjusting it?

yes i looked at it and its aligned correctly, the noise comes from the back nearest to the driver like in the middle. when i press on the hood the noise goes away so its hitting on something but i cant figure out what its touching.

there are rubber adjusters on each corner so you can screw them in or out

I'd try the adjusters first, and be careful what you put under the hood and where, don't want anything catching on fire
