Hood alignment

O.K. I installed the hood struts on my 2009 Gt/CS today. However the hood looks to be out of aligment. It looks like it has shifted a 1/4 to the left. I loosened the bolts and tried to move the hood over but it would not budge. Any ideas?

Just an update, changed back to standard and aligment was normal.
I just installed the NXT struts from CJponey. They had no problem with the alignment. Works great and looks great.

I found the redlinetuning hood struts on the left side (drivers) you need to move the hood release cable. Just past the strut tower (towards the front end) there is a retainer clip, pull it out and move the cable & clip to the underside of the hole.
