Default Trunk not closing on 69' Judge

hi, friends, I'm back ..

I'm certain at one point this trunk closed perfectly .. today I was installing lock cylinder when I noticed that locking mechanism on trunk lid was misaligned w/ catch inside of trunk .. like "clunk" .. trunk lid assembly not even getting close to point where it'd normally latch.

I removed catch from inside of trunk and quickly realized that trunk literally won't fully close.

gap at back window (pictured) seems square but there's a larger gap on passenger side of trunk between it and quarter panel than driver's side.
there's not anything in the way of it closing , it seems like maybe hinges themselves can't collapse any further.

car has been flat bedded a few times since leaving it's previous home of 20+ years and arriving here. did something get twisted?

thoughts would be appreciated

best,
mike
