Bonnet silly question
The part of the bonnet that goes into the catch with the spring on it, should that spring go up and down.
Silly question but i dont know the answer.

If by moves you mean compresses, then yes, that's why the bonnet "Pops" open

Could also be the catches(half moon) shapes in the slam panel holes aren't moving freely Slacken the bolts either side of the holes a little & lubricate the catches. Have someone pull the lever in the car & see if they move freely
