Rear window not flush with C-pillar & causing a leak

My rear window isn't flush with the C pillars on one side. This means that it doesn't contact the rubber seals in the boot/trunk so rain runs straight into the boot/trunk. I've tried adjusting:
• the check stop buffers settings SM77.30-P-0006A
• the lock on C-pillar AR77.50-P-3045R
• Upper &* lower Y stops, and the Z stops AR67.20-P-3000-06R

Any clues please?

I think on this kind of headache I'd try a good body shop to make an adjustment. I'd be worried about making it worse.

Can you post a wider shot?

Did you have any work done to the car recently?

I believe this may be the adjustment you need to make:
