I have not had this problem but the rubber seal on my car does not even touch the body work on the left and right back corners. When the hood is up you can see daylight through the gap
Mine was the same when I first got it. It can be adjusted at the fixing point to help with the problem. I also find on initially putting the hood up the hoop above the rear window tends to sit above the stitched seam, pressing above the bar with the edge of the hand moves the bar below the stitching and reduces the tension enough to get the seal to make contact.
