Angry Hood not flush with the bumper pleas help!

Alright so I had to jack my car up to cut a
Piece of plastic that was hanging off. I noticed a couple
Of minutes later that the hood was pushed up. I lowered the jack
And now the hood is not flush with the
Bumper like it had been previously (slightly raised above the bumper).
I figure I jacked
The car up on the radiator rail witch
The hood latch is attached to and it slowly bent up
There for pushing my hood up with it.
The hood latch works perfectly fine but my
Question is how would I or how should I go about
Fixing this and lowering the hood to normal position?
Please help if you can i got a car show
Coming up soon and need it fixed!

ummm... 72 Pinto? Some kind of Honda?

For many years, the PROPER front-center jacking point is the structural member under the radiator. But it sounds like something bent, so I guess we need more information.

What kind of car?
Exactly where did you position the jack?
