I loosened and adjusted everything to where it would have the best chance of catching and it's still off. I mean it looks like I could "dremel" out some of the latch metal to make it catch-is this my only option? Have others experienced this? The gate was made in Taiwan, I think most of the parts are Woodall if that means anything.

Woodall parts are some of the best you can buy from what I have heard and read. I haven't purchased any repo tailgates. A couple of pictures of the latches and strikers would help us to see if there are any obvious problems. Have you tried closing it with the rubber bumpers removed from the bed opening? If you do that just close it slowly.
