Hatch Alignment

Net to the forum, even though I've been lurking for years LOL
Having an issue I can't figure out on my GTI.
Trunk hatch seems to have gotten out of alignment after the last move and no longer opens smoothly.
I have the hatch pop kit from ECS and it's worked great, until now.
Now it doesn't pop at all.
When I pull the VW logo handle, I hear the motor actuate, but the trunk does not open.
To open the trunk, I have to apply downward pressure (push down at the rear wiper where the arm attaches to the motor) to align the trunk lid, then I'm able to pull the latch to open.
Anyone has an idea on how to get my trunk lid into "alignment" lol

P.S. I visually inspected the latch and nothing looks broken.
