2001 ML320 Hood alignment

Hello all. New here and I am trying to help a friend out. Crunched his hood and passenger side front fender. We replaced them but can't get the hood to line up. Front to back it is good but laterally it is off by about 1/8". I see the 3 adjusting bolts on each side of the hood but they don't allow for lateral movement. What am I missing?
Thanks

Check the bottom side of the hinge, where it attaches to the body of the car, maybe it moved out of place.
