GTEyes did you check the hood with a straight edge? My 2015 SEL bought new had an issue with a gap on the driver's side also. I never noticed at first. It was more noticeable looking straight in at the hood. Long story short, the hood was actually deformed. Probably a bad stamping. After jumping through some hoops, Ford approved a new hood. What I didn't like was the new hood was painted by the dealer, as compared to the baked on or whatever they do at the factory. It seems to have held up, but the whole issue didn't help with Ford Quality.
