Default ERA - Any tips for aligning trunk latch?

When my car arrived assembled as a roller, the trunk latched perfectly. I'm embarassed to say I can't seem to get it back to that level of adjustment. And since I'm too big to climb inside and close the lid I'm scratching my head as to what to do.

Currently the latch does not close all the way (about 10 degrees from horizontal) and you can lift the lid and it pops around the pin. This is the case with all the adjustment available.

I suppose I should put the carpet down and see if that helps or makes it worse, but like I said it used to latch fine.

Thanks, Chuck
