Default hood troubles

My '97 Mustang has a Fiberglass Cowl Induction Hood that won't seem to stay down on the right front corner. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem. I am open to any and all suggestions.

Hood lock or Clips is the old school muscle car way of doing it. The prob I've had with light weight fiberglass hoods is how they flex. I've seen guy with hidden under hood latches, but I have no clue where to get them. Google search time I guess.
