Blazer hatch adjustment. Any help?

Im installing my rear hatch, and im running into an issue. The hatch is sitting to the right a LOT. There doesnt appear to be any left to right adjustment.

Some pics for reference.

I can NOT get the hatch to raise, i think the new gaskets and the fabric are in the way, i can fix that. Its the LEFT to right adjustment. Do i need to elongate the holes for left and right movement on the hatch??

Is that an OE hatch?

I was thinking i can just elongate the holes on the hatch to get it to move left a bit.

I finally pulled the hatch and said **** it. There is ZERO left to right adjustment on these hatches. I elongated teh mounting holes, widened the hole where the foot slides in. Moved it over and up .5. Fits perfect. Cant wait for this to be over.
