69 heater/AC question

[Stvbrtls]

I am working on getting my 69 put back together and am working on the heater/av controls. I could not get the temp lever to go all the way to the hot side and after doing some research on the forum I checked the operation of the blend door under the hood by taking enough of the housing apart to get to it. It did have a lot of leaves and trash inside of it. After cleaning it out I checked the operation of it and noticed that it did not close all the way in the hot position. I am wondering if this correct or should it close all the way in both directions.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
