Is it worth trying to align my hood myself?

So my hood alignment was very good at delivery....something happened after I took it in for service to install the homelink system (they removed the bumper...why touch the hood)?

It looks like there are only 4 bolts that hold the hood on. Is it worth my time to attempt to align it myself? I can't imagine the techs are magicians who can do a lot better than I can.

My only holdup is my fear of the latch not aligning properly and I don't know how to adjust that.
 
If you look up the auto frunk open/close mechanism from TeslaOffer - their install PDF has pretty good instructions how to adjust the hood latch. Also the Frugal Tesla guy on YouTube.

Chances are that you just need to loosen two 10mm bolts and adjust the latch mechanism. This is after you remove all the plastic frunk and trim coverings which mostly just pop off. I have faith in you.
