Why do worn hinges make the hood rear corners sit high?

The car in question here is a 66 98. The hood hinge tech should be common to 65-70 big cars (88/98) and perhaps beyond.

What I’d like to know is why my driver’s side hood (left) rear corner sits high, relative to the fender. It could be I just adjusted it incorrectly. Or it could be worn out.

What I don’t understand is why worn out hood hinges might allow the hood to sit high…

Body specialists out there, what are your views?

Cheers
