For the life of me I cannot figure out why my headlight trim sits so low against my driver fender. The fenders on both sides are even with hood on both sides and the passenger is perfect. I can see how the front panel isn't straight with hood like it is on the passenger side. I've included a few pics. If anyone has had this problem as well please let me know what you did or where to start. Pics I did not include show the bottom of both headlight trims to be even on both sides. So where is the extra space coming from.

Eventually this car will be a frame off project. Maybe I need to wait until then.

Thanks
