Excess hood flex on '06 Explorer

I've had my new '06 Explorer for a few months, and I have noticed the hood flexes way more than my old '92 Explorer. Especially at highway cruising speed, it seems to twitch at the front corners. I've tried adjusting the two jacking bolts under the hood at the front corners, but to no great effect. Is the new hood just more flexible?

I don't see the seach tool on this forum any more, so I don't know if this has been covered before.
