As you can see from the last set of picures, with the amount of flex in the part, the gap is covered.
this is just epic.

**UPDATE**

We got a new part in yesterday from the updated mold. Only problem being is that they didn't make a big enough of a change to fix the issue. The product development director is not all that pleased with it as he asked for the mold to be modified immediately. As soon as I get another update, I will pass it along.

That would be ideal but as you said, that's a structural part of the hood. Without that there, there's a chance the hood would bow.

That I don't know. I'm sure it has something to do with the skeleton on the underside of the hood itself.
