have you tried undoing the bolts that hold the bonnet on? if not loosen them right off and then see if you can adjust it to sit right

are you sure youve fitted them so that the struts can close properly?

Many moons ago, I had some metro boot lifters fitted to the bonnet. I found I had to put the mounting holes in the wings as far inward as poss, so they didn't hit the bonnet, and also had to flatted the lip of the top part of the bulkhead (well, that flimsey bit).
