x 2 if the misalignment is down at the radiator panel end.

Loosen the bolts that hold the guard uprights to the front radiator panel. Align the front panel and uprights to suit your bonnet and do up the bolts. There is a lot of room for adjustment at the front end, none really at the hinge end once you've centered the bonnet and set your gap.

My front end isn't exactly perfect either cammo.
it's never a problem until it can't be fixed, even then it' only a minor set back
