One side of the hood doesn't close fully

I tried twisting the little black **** till it's fully tight but this is as far as it goes. I do a lot of highway driving so I cannot have it wobbling at highway speeds risking more damage. Any ideas?

Happened recently when I went to the mechanic to get the hood "unstuck" because it would not open. Just thought I'd ask before I take it back.

Ive had this same problem. Your passenger side hood clamp it closed. There are these clamps that when pushed on (usually by the hood latches) close. However if they are already closed the hood latch cant enter the clamp and sits on top, bending your hood. Im pretty sure yours has closed on its own. open your hood and see where the hood latch goes. you should see a black metal clamp. Play with it a little bit till it opens up again.

Thanks, I'll give it a look after class ends, hopefully it doesn't get stuck again when the hood closes, which is the reason I was at the mechanic in the first place -_-.
