Ghost,
Call me stupid but I do not see a problem in the photos other than a slight angle difference in the mounting ears. The recieving end of the latch mouted on the decklid itself has some forward/aft adjustmenst (at least mine does) that will allow you to adjust it to fit accordingly and all should be good, give it a try.
