If the hood, when slowly lowering, looks like it lines up but when it is snapped shut pulls to the left, then, most of the times that I have corrected the situation, was to, either with a rubber mallet or wood block, in your case, strike the spring loaded spear on the hood to bend it to the left.(as you are facing the car )
Note, you are not really bending the spear but the associated sheet metal that the spear is attached to.
