Default Hood Hinge problems

Hello,
Ive got an ls3 swapped 72 GTO with a t56 tranny. Original chassis and body parts. Car just came out of paint and ive ordered hood hinges from ringbrothers for it. Unfortunately, there are some issues. Hood wont close completely from the back, raised about about 2 cm. Ive tried everything. Ringbrothers havent been much help. Would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks.

Is it me or do you have two of the same side hinges, Looks like the one in the last picture is on the wrong side or did you just show them mounted both ways?

Comparing to their pic, it looks like yours maybe possibly incorrectly assembled? There maybe a difference between yours and this 67-69 Camaro hinge though.
