You will notice that the latches are spring loaded downward and must be able to slide upward on their mounting pins as the latches rotate up over the edge of the hood. Pull them up and down several times to ensure they are free.

The first movement of the lever under the dash moves the lifting roller out from under the edge of the hood and the hood should fall into place as if it were locked. If it does not do so for any reason the latches will not be able to twist over the edge of the hood.
