In addition to backing out the threaded bump stops, you can also remove the black plastic cover around the base of the metal latches on the hood, and then since the latches are threaded into the hood you can turn them 180° one way or the other to adjust their position, and then re-attach the black plastic locking piece.

This allows you to have the hood aligned flush with the quarter panels and bumper, but also tight and not smacking around.

It will take some fiddling with to get it just right.
