Gaps in Hood.

Hi again guys, i just replaced the driver side front fender on my truck, the old one had a drunk dent from a previous owner, and i had to take the hood opener off of the hood that connects to the hood and fender (i dont know official name) and the gap is good but it lines it up like a slope, what would i have to do to get it level again? I think this is a simple fix hopefully.

The hood hinge bolt holes and nuts usually slide around, so you should be able to loosen them and adjust it. Also the fender has shims, so you can shim it up or down to match the door profile, and move it in and out and up and down in the front to line up with the hood.
