'35 hood latch challenge - request input

[flathead34]

Ford Barn guys, we have run into a issue as finishing a radiator replacement on our '35 Tudor Touring Sedan. The hood latches in 3 of 4 places. However, the right front hood latch will not engage the bracket mounted to side of radiator. We have determined the position of this bracket, although appears stock, is not the same as the other side. The bottom of bracket is too low and the travel of the hood latch mechanism bottoms out in the hood before latching onto the bracket. The right side bracket is shown in the photo below.

Have any of you run into this before? What was the solution?
