Question:

Anyone experience this (see photos). Can the hood be adjusted, or is it bent?

From side to side the spacing looks equal.

Get the rear edge and the sides as parallel and uniform with the cowl and fenders
as possible.
Be certain the hood is high enough that it does not catch on the front edge of the cowl.
The mounts on the body for the hinges are adjustable but difficult to access.
The curvature of the sides of the hood can be increased or decreased ....but not
too much.
Your issue may be as simple as adjusting the rubber bumpers at the front corners
on the body. They can be raised or lowered by screwing them in or out.
After you've optimized these items the headlight covers, eyebrows and the front
bumper will need attention.
Results can come in a few minutes.....or a few days.
As Buck says above.....new gasket ? just hope it settles down but don't expect too much.
When these things are 'right' the whole car looks better.
