First, I'm sorry this happened, I feel your pain. I'll preface my thoughts with the fact that I have the same hardware installed on mine, and it worked perfectly the first time, and has for about a year now but that doesn't mean there aren't bad units out there.
OP, you said "Hi all, I tried to install a hansshow auto frunk this weekend but unfortunately I never could get the hood to shut all the way. I tried a million different things but got to frustrated after replacing the struts and brackets 3 or 4 times." . Can you explain exactly what you were doing to try to get it to close all the way?
My guess (and, this is just a guess) is that when you tried to install the hardware, either something got trapped between the hood and the frunk tub when closing OR the latch was mis-aligned when you were trying to make it work. A mis-aligned latch would pull down on the hood in an odd manner, causing the (already very light weight) aluminum hood to bend. Aluminum is hard to body work, so you may just need to replace it.
