Help lower hood on Duster

Hey everyone. I'm still sorting out the new car and one thing has got me stumped. The hood sits about a half inch higher than it should? You can push it down on the corners, but the latch needs to be lowered. I loosened the bolts and pushed the latch down as far as possible but it still sits too high. The car has been painted before so I don't know if it has an original latch or striker, but it is down all the way. Any thoughts? Thanks
