eagle, there are two rubber stops on either side of the radiator that the hood rests against and they can screw in or out to raise and lower them. If you give the rubber bumpers a few twists to raise them up a bit this should put enough pressure on the hood so that it will pop up when you pull the hood release. Also, lube the release mechanism a little to make sure that all is well.
Welcome to the fam.
