69 Dart Hood Question

I put a new one on my hood after I had the car painted a while back. I hadn't tried closing the hood until this past weekend and I can't get the hood to come all the way down to latch. It isn't hitting on anything so the only thing left I can think of is maybe I put the seal on backwards (if that is possible) and it is keeping the hood from closing all the way. I don't want to take it off if I happen to have it on the right way which is why I'd like to see a picture of one installed.
