So you put a block of "something hard" between the core support and hood where the strap was tied. Stand on something that gives you the ability to put good hand pressure against the "taco"and push hard. That will get you in the ball park. May have sprung the hinge. I'm sure the structure is buckled. You will need to metal finish the buckle in the sub structure for ultimate structural integrity. That will require a stud puller or something similar. Once the hood looks level to the nose panel you should block both front corners of the hood and finish off the "taco". The opposit corner will probably want to lift. Thats where a sand bag or a big bellied human comes in. Finishing the "taco" may involve a strong blanket a long block of wood and a big hammer,
