Hood hinge & alignment issue?

[kna4977]

Having some issues getting my hood aligned. Left hinge seems good and tight. Right hinge has some play in it left to right and can rub the A/C POA valve line at times when trying to close depending on how you try to close the hood. Also when shutting completely, it scrapes the top of the very inside of the right front fender. Been trying to adjust the hood latch so the hood doesn't rub the grille and also side to side so it doesn't rub the fender but I can't seem to find that happy medium. Ideas?

You lubed them up right? Play left to right strikes me as a worn out hinge. Perhaps that's why it's striking the fender and grille.

There's some play in the hinges, up and down. If the fenders are right, the hinges are adjusted upwards and are lubed. Then it seems to me your hinge(s) is bad.

Have you had the front clip off or replaced front radiator bushings?

No not yet. Grille replacement only which included bumper removal fender loosening and multiple adjustments since. None of which have resulted in the best case scenario.
