Jason,.....measure from the back edge of the hood, along the fender to 16 inches +/- 1/4" to the rear base of the scoop,....the scoop sits centered on the fender with approx 1/8" on each side of the scoop, remember there is a drivers side and passenger side scoop

Most of that is in how you have the front of the fenders adjusted.

I have tried lowering outside edge but it's all the way. Do you have a picture of your daytona at same angle so I can see top fender position?

There are other in my thread too , but that link should show you some. My nose is steel though,So I was able to manipulate thing to achieve the fit that it has.

This video link of my headlights opening shows it pretty well too.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmwDwSsk_2s

I'm assuming that you have a fiberglass nose here. How the nose has been sitting over a period of time can affect the shape. A fiberglass nose should always be stored with the nose pointing up.
It looks like the nose is sagging since the fender has very little adjustment. Can you lift up on the ends of the nose and bring it in to alignment? If the nose is just thin and weak you may have to fab a support inside the nose. I've owned several noses and they all vary in thickness and strength. The Superbird nose that Montana bird just bought from me is a Dayclona nose and it is very, very sturdy.
If I lived closer i could help more.
