It’s maybe a 1/8-1/4” too low on the drivers side. Is that something that can be fixed with hand tools and a little patience? I’m not a mechanic, but would like to adjust it since it bothers me every time I notice it.

there’s a bump stop there - is it as simple as raising the bump stop up a little?

Following. My hood is a smidge low on the passenger side, most noticeable up by the windshield, not as bad near the front. Only issue I've found on the exterior, otherwise panel fit is good.

Fixed it. Turns out the bump stops have built in plastic threads and you just rotate the bump stop counterclockwise until it raises up a bit. Got it right on the first try. The hood requires a little more force to close now, which makes sense.

My wife and I both have Ranger Raptors, both of our hoods were off. Our Dealer sent them to a reputable body shop and fixed for free under warranty.
