On top of your front bar, near your headlights you will see 2 black rubber, adjustable things. Play around with these first before loosening bolts on the hood.
Could also be the bonnet latch, if that is out of line it will make the hood appear out of line also.

lower the latch a little.
raise black rubber a little on right
to lower latch use a 10mm

ahh need to share more rep before giving to mytfoz again.
he is correct a 10mm socket on a ratchet and look at the latch u should be able to loosen it and slide it down then tighten it back up that should make the bonnet rest on the rubbers some more. then adjusting the rubbers will be more effective.
or at last case scenario take the bonnet off place the corners on some cardboard and the latch on a brick over some flat ground and bend it. LAST CASE SCENARIO!!!

when you rest it down, (not closed) is it uneven or it's only uneven in the closed position?
if it's uneven in the resting(not closed) position, I would be more inclined to try to bend the bonnet straight again.
