i did a search to no avail. basically i recently installed hood dampers on my car and the work great but i noticed my hood is like not centered its closed to the passside this caused it to rub in the back it was perfect before. is their a away to aling or get it back centered i tried loosening it and just pushing it but i don't know if their is a specific way to aling it. any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance

Its not the hood you need adjusting. It's the fenders.
Your fenders have 3 bolts on the top edge under your hood. Undo them and you can push/pull the fender in or out as much a 1CM. get it to about a 5mm gap between the hood, nice and even from top edge to bottom and it should be fine. Do the same on both sides. I have the same gas struts as you (but just 1 side) and I have no rubbing.
