Did you get the original bolt hole cleaned out or is it off center?

Not sure how it is not closing right but maybe you need to shim the striker down a little bit. I would have to look but you might be able to use shim plates from a side door striker plate on it.

I was able to get the broken bolt out without changing the threads, never had any problems before the the bolt backed out then broke off, I'm going to try loosing both bolts and go from there.
thanks for your help.
