I noticed that my car's sheet metal doesn't even have a hole to bolt in a 2nd bracket to add another hood strut, and neither does the hood. If you can take pictures of that and prove it, that would make an even better legal argument against them.
legal argument? well i really dont want to burn any bridges so to speak as the body shop owner has been very good to me but he is gonna have to replace the one hood strut as hood will not stay open

I heard small claims court so I assumed you were going down the route if you had to. However, if they put in two crappy headlights and a hood that doesn’t match, do they really deserve your business after this?

Our '07 has only one on the passenger side & really thats all it needs vs the weight of the rear hatch w/ the window & all that weight vs the light weight of the hood. I'd say it just needs a new hood strut vs using the old one.

My 2007 RX is a North American manufactured model and has just one hood strut. It is the base model.
