I have the same problem on my passenger side. One of my original ideas was
the same idea of puting in a bar of some sort to hold it straight. I will
just try a little muscle work ato bend it back for the time being before i
paint it. I always open my bonnet from the middle.

My guess is that this is why I was told not to lift the bonnet by the
latch.
It's a poor bit of design really because the latch really is the obvious
thing
to use to lift that heavy bonnet.
