David I noticed in your last picture on this thread, your bonnet hinge appears to be projecting high relative to the rest of the bonnet surface. This may be a factor in why your bonnet fouls when flanges are UP. In Howards first picture on page 1 he shows correct placement of a spacer (nut) to keep the up flanges distant. Parazine's friend's picture on page 2 is quite clear on this as well as being a good tip on overcoming the broken tang at the hinge ends. Flange up acts as a gutter to keep water off the engine .
