underhood latch possibly damaged ?!?!

i got my car back from the body shop yesterday, it seemed fine then, but today after i got i got done puttin parts back on the car, i closed the hood and noticed that it wasnt closing all the way down.... it locks into place, i cant reopen it unless i go pull the lever inside the car, but after i close it, there is just enough room for my finger to reach the lever to open the hood. There is also about 4 to 5 millimeters of gap on each corners of the hood. It was fine 2 days ago when i last checked it, but somehow i guess its broken or loose somehow. Also i noticed that since yesterday whenever i open the hood from the inside lever, it doesnt make that clunking sound anymore, i just pull and it releases it. I never slam the hood to close it, I always gently push it down...but after this i tried smallin it a few times, but no luck here are same quick snaps...any ideas ?

edit...bumper is not loose, its fully reinforced, and trippled checked everything, it just dont close all the way...and i didnt forget anything under the hood.







under hood, everything seems normal







latch doesnt look like it moved in years ...
