I had exactly the same issue when I did mine. I updated an earlier intercooler thread/post with photos of the latch and how I opened it.
It was very easy to fix - just remove skid tray and lower all 3 rads via bottom bolts. Just an inch or two.
Then check the rads go in to the vertical pins that screw down from the slam panel. If it’s not back in the pins the bonnet wire gets pinched.
Even if the rads are sitting in the pins, just feel the wire along the rear edge of the slam panel to move it back towards engine ever so slightly.
Then bolt back up to bring the rads back up tight and all should be ok.
Max 30 mins and you should be sorted. Worth a go and quicker than trying to explain to a garage.
