Default Engine Lid lateral adjustment

I've done a search but I've only found results showing up/down adjustment. My engine lid is noticeably shifted to the left. The gap on the right side where the lid meets the quarter panel is much larger than the left side. Is there any way to adjust left/right positioning?

Loosen 4 bolts holding the hinges to the body. Slide as you need.

Be aware you might need to adjust the latch or the catch.

Don't force it to close/latch when you move the lid - will cause issues.
