There a couple of options here.

1: Get rid of the latch and go strictly LA. The LA's hold might be enough (depending on vehicle and setup)

2: Create a sliding main mount. Make a mount that will let the LA move just a little bit for the release, then the LA can extend and open the hood. Again the vehicle and where you plan on mounting the LA will determine how the LA mount should be.

Ganbatte ne!
