It should be close to flush with the inside of the lip in the hood area. At least mine is anyway.

added info:
I believe that it is tilted forward because that way when you install the body and pull it back into position the firewall lip presses on the hood lip to create a seal of sorts.

If you put foam tape or a bulb seal of sorts on the upper part of the firewall lip it helps the sealing and also helps body vibration/shake a bit.
