Fiberglass hood latch question

Anyone here have a bolt on Glasstek hood? The hood latch striker bar off my factory hood is not even close to bolting up to the new one. The back hole is there but not the front. I reached out to them but still waiting on a response... Anyone thoughts? Does it require a bar from another car?
Hood is six pack style for 71 Duster

Thanks in advance

Not the best or the safest route unless you use hood pins as a backup. See post #2.
