Trunk lock issue

Hi, self inflected headache here.
I was reinstalling my trunk lock assembly and was Caledonia away. When I returned to my car I closed the trunk without tightening the bolts all the way. The electric release is not working which started this process. The key will unlock the trunk however it only opens about 1/2 inch if that much.I should be able to see inside the trunk from the side. Do not know what I am looking for. Looking for suggestions before submitting to mb labor rates.
Thanks in advance.

Well the very bad news is that you are at the point where the lock will have to be drilled out to solve the problem!!
