Trunk not closing after top cylinder change

I changed out the frame lock hydraulic cylinders, and the front lock. The top goes through its cycle perfectly fine, except it will not close the trunk. If I push on it, it closes fine. It makes a "thump" noise as if something was in the way. The whole trunk is gutted and I still can't see what might be in the way.


I tried moving the frame lock cylinders forward and backward (they are slightly adjustable) and This did not help.

The trunk is able to open just fine. Closing is the problem.


Any ideas?? I am stumped.

Not sure if it will help, but here's a diagnostic document:
