Mine were slightly off also. I just tightened down my firewall bolts first and then I tightened the bottom bolts. This pulled the inner cowl up slightly. Also, the pockets can be installed without cutting you your cowl. You just have to cut notches in the pockets. Here are a couple of pics and you can check out my build thread, post #612.
Last thing, if you already have a painted truck and you don't want to weld the hinge mounting plate to your hood, I sell bolt on hood brackets that allow you us use the PB hinges without welding:
