Default hood latch

I have been trying to figure this out for about a month but the hood stays in the pop position and from what I have read you just have to slam it but if I do this it bends the hooks towards the engine and still does not latch . What am I missing here?

The hood bumpers need adjusting. Open the hood and look up, you'll see a couple of rubber bumpers about a foot outboard of the center of the hood. Grab them and turn them clockwise by ¼ turns (experiment) to make the hood easier to close...
