Default Rear bow latch won't click shut and lock.

Hi All, new to this forum and looking for help. I'm going to tell everything I know/have tried to eliminate some of the obvious possibilities. We have a 2005 convertible. When putting the top up the last step before manually latching the front of the top is that the rear bow has a latching point that closes into a slot on the back deck. It's supposed to click in and lock. Ours pushes and wants to go in but the latch inside, under the deck won't open/disengage to allow it. The latch with is brand new rebuilt I just put in. All other operations of open and close are working. There's power to the latch (3v). once the rear bow is closed as far as it will go(without latching) I can give it a push and it clicks shut/locked. When I want to open it, it opens fine without have to do anything besides push the button.

problem solved. Thanks for all the answers and advice @pizzaguy it was the adjustment that fixed it.
