New VIS Carbon fiber trunk has big gap!! Please Help

i just installed a VIS carbon fiber trunk and there is a big gap all the way around my trunk. i can push the trunk down and it fits perfect, but the rubber seal around the trunk is pushing it back up. has anyone had this same problem and how did you fix it.

is the trunk latching into place well? maybe tweaking with that a bit to ensure its holding it into place? ... hmm

i'm still trying to figure out what part of the trunk that pic is of!

you have to put shims or washers under the hook at the bottom. also you have to flip the hook around. now it looks like factory again

i liked the price the best $519.99 shipped to my door!!!
