Cool hood alignment

What adjustments are available for the hood?

I'm thinking the hood was miss aligned after the deer hit it in the front left corner.

Now the rear passenger side (right) is high, and the front right side is not as close as the rest of the hood, to the fender. The 'seam' on the right starts narrow and widens at the front, by about a 1/4th of an inch.

Your suggestions are appreciated. Should I just whack the hood, and force an alignment, or what I'd prefer, is there an adjustment I can make.

I see thee is some 'play' in the bolts holding the hood on, buy I need more than that.

I'm installing a fresh from the salvage yard hood, and it seems straight.

Thanks
