The passenger side latch is too low, raise it about 1/4 inch so that the hood catches easily and is "snug", meaning just that, not too tight.

The driver's side is broken, you should not be able to pull the latch up by hand. Unless the cable is too tight and does not let the latch lock. In either case, remove the latch and make sure it is not broken.
Because the car is not straight, you will have to move the dirver side latch around until it catches the hood, snuggly. The center safety catch appears to be working correctly.
