47-55.1 Hood Fits Too Tight

[Driver_WT]

Just got my truck painted. The hood was adjusted pretty good before paint, and we removed the dog house to paint the lower part of the cowl where the front fenders bolt on. When we put the dog house back on, the hood fits too tight between the front fenders at the front 1/3 of each fender. The front edge of the hood is lined up with the fenders, but the fenders are too tight to the hood in front 1/3 of the fender. We have tried using the firewall support rods to push the fenders out, but that did not make much difference. Just looking for any ideas or insight you may have.

Thanks.
