The 4th, 354th, 355th and 357th FG had collectively 50+ claims between Brunswick, Celle, Gifhorn, Gardelegen and Wittingen area. I could find nothing specifically for Hannover, per se.

All of the US fighter groups engaged LW inbound to Bruswick so the initial clash could have been near Hannover, but the battles with Mustangs were east of Hannover. P-47 credits were inW/Dummer Lake, Meppen, Quackenbruck areas - well west of Hannover and Brunswick.
