2020 AMG GTS Hood stuck in Service Position

Hi All,
Newbie here looking for hopefully some simple advice.
I did an oil top up and opened the bonnet to the service position (90 degrees). Just wanting to see how it goes to 90 degrees.
Problem is that I can't get it down again.
I don't want to force it down as it feels like it has clipped into place and fear that I will do some damage if I do that.
Any ideas on how to get it down again?
All help appreciated.

Also, the hood goes all the way back without having to press the clips when at the standard "open" position
Or am I looking at the wrong thing - see the photos of the brackets?
Any other help appreciated.

Just to let you know that I contacted the local dealer who said there are no clips on the brackets on the hood on the 2020 GTS and to use a bit of brute force to simply push it down rather than try and pull it from the side.
So I did that and after a bit of initial resistance it went down easily.
Just some confidence required and a bit of a shove.
Hope this helps someone else in the same position I was in.
