i had that problem when i swapped trunk lids.....but only on one side so i'm not sure if you have the same problem i did.

remove the plastic panel that covers the latch mechanism. under that are some torks screws that adjust the height and location left to right of the latch.

in my situation the latch wasn't located to match the diference of the new trunklid and threw everything off when closed.

get a friend you can trust to let you out and lay in the trunk as they open\close it repeadidy while you make adjustments till it's right.
