Hood adjustment-2

Recent paint work at a body shop and now the front, right side hood latch is next to impossible to fasten. All others are fine. Latches were not removed from the car. Hood fits fine and gaps are even on both sides. I've tried to "adjust" things a bit with no luck. Nothing new was added like welting, etc. Any tips would be appreciated.

Any pictures?
Is the latch a repro?

I do not know if the latch is a repro, just that all latches fit fine before the job but now the right, front is a challenge to close. Hood looks good as before.

Does the shape of the hood fit the radiator shell and cowl nicely, or does it have to be pulled down to fit the curves?
