Help! 2007 volvo S80 hood latch
 

I have a 2007 Volvo S80 V8 awd and I cant get the drivers side latch to release. I loosened the bolts on it and slid it all the way to the left, tightened it and I still cant get it open. Any tricks or Ideas? Ive tried everything. Had someone pull the lever as I bounced the hood but no luck. All I wanted to do was change the oil.......
