your '25 won't have the problem - its got the steel hood where the earlier G2's had the aluminum hood. We are subject to hoot latch cracking and hood flutter from broken seam glue. You'll be fine.
first - make sure your - front latch isn't broken - another separate TSB. Second - remove the plastic tabs and examine the hood skin to the frame like I did prying slighting - see if everything is tight and sealed well. You may simply just need to seal again yourself. They are aluminum hoods for several years so they won't be as sturdy as the newer all steel hoods in the current Ridgelines.
Excellent job! Well explained. Haven’t noticed on my ‘25 Ridgeline but will be aware.

Thanks for the additional information
My 2018 still flutters after Honda said they fixed it.
