I had the same problem and loosened the six nut heads that fasten the front plastic panel/apron (holds the grille) to the car - (these look up at you as you look down at the radiator - with bonnet open). I then shifted the front panel around for about 30 mins and after a lot of bonnet openings and closings, eventually got it level then tightened them and finally adjusted the two rubber plugs on each side of the bonnet as you stated. I should add I had to insert a small rubber wedge in between the top of the front panel and the car before I got there, but it now looks perfect and everything shuts as it should. Give it a try, all you need is a socket set and about an hour of fiddling!
