Default Trunk, not flush

So, after that horrific curb accident, I noticed that my trunk isn't flush on the one side with the rest of the body. I remeber the knov that protected the hydrulic cyclinder looking think broke off the other side. But that sie is flush, i can get pictures if you guys want. Its a pain in the ***. What could be cuasing this, and the frame is perfectly fine.

the trunk lid is probobly tweeked. those cylinder are lift assisters(worthless) it sounds strange but I have fixed many a trunk lid. first inspect the height adjuster and raise or lower as needed, If you dont have enough to fix, grab the trunk lid on each corner, pull down the high side and push up the low. it works everytime with the correct feel and touch. I have even gotten forward corners down or up the same way but much harder to do
