The retaining nut at the top of the striker is just that... a retaining nut. To adjust the depth of the striker, you loosen that retaining nut, then use a slotted screw driver in the tip of the striker to adjust the depth. Once you have desired depth (yep, pretty phalic), then lock down that retaining nut.
If your hood is down and tight in the closed/locked position, with no play in it (meaning if you push down firmly on it you can't get any movement), but your body lines are flush, then you are right at the limit of where you can adjust your hood to. If this is the case, then it is no wonder that your hood release pull is tight. If your hood is even the slightest bit lower on body lines than your fenders, then you can increase the depth of your strikers a little to give yourself some more room... which it will make the pull easier.
