The way you designed the wing would not permit it to gliding in my opinion it would offer little to no air resistance as it should for itself to glide safely you want to have covincing cartilage or bone in between each section of membrane to renforce the air resistance.
Right now it look more like a floppy sheet of skin with weak cartilage or bone and it doesn't look to me like it could hold the weight of the dragon if he would fall it look more like it only serve for underwater aerodynamism because of how small and thin the bone or cartilage look.It also doesn't look like he could us is wing to take off due to the position of the hood as you call it.

For a design stand point in nature a hood is generally use as a scare tactic to look bigger to a predator. Video research for design and function https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxC_BNYrXG8
I provided example of what i would consider glider/flying type creature example taken from monster hunter and D&D to illustrate my point.
