[Mgs] trunk lid

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.
