That *seems* to be fairly common, possibly due to being supported on that
side only, even if not having been pushed down with the strut still locked.
I improved mine by putting washers between the hinge that side and the
tonneau panel, which moved that hinge down relative to the panel, and hence
that corner of the lid. If you use too many you will need longer bolts, of
course.
You should be able to close the latch manually with the lid up, then release
it with the button to make sure it is functioning. If not you should be
able to see why not. If that's OK but it doesn't release when the lid is
closed (a heart in mouth moment the first time you do it) it looks like
alignment or distortion is the problem.
