Back corners of hood sticking up

I have a problem on my Jetstar 88 -65, that the hood is sticking up at the rear corners.
Got the hinges more firm, at a friend of mine, but it got no better.

Seen that some people put schims on front of hinge to hood, some say the rear of the hood.

Any who know the facts what to do for the hood to get lowered in back?

People try to lower the hinges to bring the hood down when in fact they need to be raised, just the opposite of what one might think.

I have not tried to lower the front bumper stops.. the hood is ok in the front towards the fenders, and if I lower them, I thought the hood will be lower than the fenders then?

It's only a thought/suggestion. Those bumper stops are adjustable. You need to look at this from the perspective of both front & rear positions. As Eric suggested...

...so, there's an interplay between both the front & the rear.
