I had that problem on mine and I got it to pull down flush with some hood adjustments, If its really the nose, There are just screws holding that part on the front, make sure they're tight

Looks like the old rubber nose has heated up and warped making it lower then useual look at the midle compared to the end and then going back up near the pocket.

mine had a slight gap in it that drove me crazy....all I did was play around with the striker and it fixed it completely (probably kind of hard to see in the picture) it's the metal part that is on the underside of the hood:
