I had this situation with my rear deck lid. It seemed tight, but over road bumps, it would pop open (though not fully). I think it's the same mechanism in front.
Not sure I can describe the latch action, but if it's not adjusted properly, there isn't enough of the lock pawl exposed to engage the bump in the hood pin. Work the latch mechanism by hand while you observe the pawl through the opening in the lower latch plate. There'll be a position of maximum exposure to catch the hood pin when it's closed.
The hood pin also needs to be far enough downward to engage the latch mechanism fully. If so, you can loosen the hood pin lock nut, then thread the pin downward the correct distance for full engagement.
Hope this helps,
Sherwood
