Gen 2 Hood Hinge Question

Does anyone see anything wrong with my hood hinge assembly?
When I push the hinge up to meet the hood pads it's about an inch too far forward (towards front of car) and the angle is wrong. The front part of the hood pad as about 3/8" away from the hinge while the rear of it touches.
Hopefully that makes sense.....
This is on a Speedstar.
Thanks in advance...

It looks the same as the one I have on a GEN Hot rod. I would contact FFR. Maybe the Speedstar hinge is different and you have the wrong one.

Have you marked the holes in the hood with the template? Also, the width for the mounting plates is pretty variable. Leave a lot of this stuff pretty loose until you can line it all up. Looks like my Gen 2 at this point. It will lift the hood up and forward quite a bit as you open. You need about 6 hands to do all of this!!
