Doesn't look like it's even connected to the passenger side fender hinge.

Did it come loose anywhere on the hinge? Or maybe so bolts popped out somewhere?

I'm thinking maybe the bolts holding the hinge to the fender (not hinge to hood) came loose somehow. I guarantee if I were there I could figure this out in minutes.

agreed it shouldn't be too hard to see what went wrong just by looking at it .. open the hood a little bit and then take a picture

Yeah that would be helpful, get a picture of the hinge attaching to the fender (or where it should be). And a picture of the hinge attaching to the hood.
