Yes, just wind out the stops.

There is adjustment on the attachment points. Has it been off?

Front edge only with the stops. I think the rear is adjusted on the latches

It will jack the front, and all the way back, an amount proportional to the distance from the front. The rear corner won't move at all.
If the profile of the bonnet matches the profile of the top of the wing as it should, then this is exactly what you want.
If the profiles don't match, then you have poorly fitting after market panels, or the bonnet is bent.
If it's bent, it can be unbent.

The panels are all genuine and I'm pretty sure the bonnet isn't bent. The rubber seals are only held in place with an adhesive strip and the force of the bonnet pressing down on them is forcing them away from the wing. I've had the strips for a few years before finally fitting them so maybe their not as sticky as they should be.
