Thank you all of your advice. Here is a picture.
The angle is not good and it looks better than it actually sits irl.
I would still say they are too far apart from the bumper, which adjusting the hood or bumper can't help it since I would need to stretch the hood and bumper. They protrude ever so slightly past the fenders but you can't tell in the picture.
The headlight covers actually touch the bumper if I try to get the bumper to sit right. My car has two accidents on the front, both sides so I'm considering taking it to a professional shop to get measured and possibly pulled.
Nissan FSM says 6mm on each side of the cover in relation to hood bumper and fender. It also implies that they are adjustable.

Only this is bent on both sides
Also the fenders should only have forward and backward support since there's that thingy welded to the core support which the fender bolts to right under the headlight which would not allow for lateral adjustment if you're not using washers.
I also have 3 5mm washers under the bumper bracket to core since it's the only way I could close the gap... Maybe I should accept the harsh reality that my car is just not straight and not do mental gymnastics to convince myself otherwise. Automotive pain.
