tight hood hinges , Question

Ok so I am currently at the point of getting the final fitment of the body panels aand I think I have a issue with might be know as loose hood hinges. I sandblasted the hinges with the springs removed, I then replaced the springs, (which have not been sandblasted) and then tested the hood on. when I close the hood from the fully open, it looks like the rear lifts before it will begin to close. At fully closed the rear of the hood (at the windshield) will not sit down unless I go to each rear corner and push it down.

I am asking is this what you all would describe as a loose hood hinge?

Is this just poor hood adjustment?

I recently read a comment that you can only find out if hood hinges are loose after you install them. Your thoughts about this?

So I am at a road block with issue. And want to solve this before I send this truck out for body work and paint.
