Engine Lid Fitting Help!

I finally did it. I removed the whale tail on my SC and replaced with a plain one. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble fitting the new decklid properly.

Problem One:The top edge is rubbing against the paint on the body. Adjusting the lid forward and backward doesn't seem to help much. Do I need to shim this out using washers? I used the ones from the old tail, but the fit could be different...

Problem Two: The passengers side sits too low in the close position, exposing the side of the edge on the body.

Problem Three: Can't get the latch to catch. This part could be just me - with the weight of the tea tray, a gentle drop caught the latch, now it seems I have to push to close it. Should it require me putting some weight into it?
