There are 2 latches, one on each side/OUTSIDE of the tower between it and the fiberglass dash.
They are not the same.
One is for the left side and one is for the right side.
If you have had both of them off, you may have re-installed them on the wrong sides?
there are also 2 hood bumpers (IH-544189-r1) that glue to the upper lip of the rear hood support to keep the hood clear of the fiberglass dash panel.
