Am I crazy or is this hood not aligned properly?

How is the gap between the fender and hood?
Mine is like that too, the rubber knobs don't really do anything in terms of fixing this but I noticed the gap between the side of my hood and fender is so different on the drivers side and the passenger's side.
Passenger's side my house key doesn't fit into the gap, but on the drivers side I could drop it into the engine bay.

Anyone know a fix for this?
Car is new and never been in any type of accident.

The knob behind the headlight

Are you able to post a picture?
I tried raising and lowering the knob about halfway up the fender but this did not help.

The knob on the side about halfway up the fender did not help the gap adjustment. I noticed you posted a picture of there being 2 knobs above the radiator on the front of the car. I tried turning these but they do not go up or down.
Are they adjustable as well?

No it was my mistake.. On the current gen accords it is the front knobs that adjust and i posted without trying to adjust that one

Oh okay, I suspect I need to loosen my hood hinge bolts and move the hood slightly to the side to close the larger gap for the issue I am having.

Cant hurt... If it was a side to side issue id have no problem doing it

The front most bumpers just stick into the plastic cooling panel. The bottom of the bumper rests on top of the radiator support. So what I did on my car is remove the cooling panel, and put a spacer under the bumper between the rubber and the core support. I was able to get the most adjustment out of the front edge of the hood this way...I almost have mine lined up against the front plastic upper grille/bumper area now, needs just another small spacer to be perfect..
