Pierre, is this a new bonnet or was it like this when you bought the car? (Hood is the American word, bonnet is English).
If you bought the car with it like that you should have asked the seller to fix it before paying.
Here is a recent topic about adjusting the bonnet

And searching for “bonnet” will give you lots of results, then search those results for “alignment” or “adjustment” to see how others have gone about this work.

It's because it wasn't aligned at all that I was able to negotiate the price down. I'll look for the right words. Thanks for the links :-)
