Shouldn't have to slam, just push down when you close it. That said several things to check. First check the hood height above the bumper cover, it should be about 1/16" below the level of the front bumper cover. To adjust screw the rubber bump stops on each side of the hood in or out to set the height. Once this is set there are 2 bolts inside the trunk that hold the latch loosen to adjust the latch height and left or right. If you need help or pictures let me know. It's real easy just takes a little fiddling to get perfect.
