Sounds to me like the hinge assembly is sprung or loose. Maybe you can shim, adjust or bend the assembly arms to close properly ? You may have to remove it form the hood in order to repair ? I always lay my hand on the cover when opening the head light so, it does not spring up forcefully.

Hey Johnny, my head light also sits flush to the hood. Sorry I can't help, good luck. When are you going back to work?
