Here’s what I did. 1: close the hood firmly, this will leave a witness mark on the cowling. 2: hit the area with a heat gun, be careful not to go overboard. Seeing a ‘shiny’ look means that you have heated the area enough. 3: slam the hood. You should find that the hood now sits flush. You may have to repeat the process though. Yes the cowling will have a deformed area, but it beats cutting the plastic. This method is also not noticeable when the hood is closed.

Not the most elegant method, but it has worked for me on several vehicles.
