Cabriolet Engine Lid Misaligned?

Model: 991S Cabriolet

Today, I noticed a partial lining rubber seal in between the gap of the engine compartment lid is not flush like on the other side. I think its misaligned...

What do you guys think?
Anyone encountered same issue and how can you fix this?

I dont think I can take this to the dealership because the car was purchased from the gray market so I want to try to fix it myself (if possible).

Note: Ive already checked if there is a height-adjustable rubber stopper underneath.... there is.. but the height is not adjustable.







Thanks

Most dealers outsource the body work to "certified" workshops.
So I would find out who they use and take it to the bodyshop.

Don't understand what you mean by grey market..? Is the car under warranty or not?

If not I'd be worried about more than a trunklid..

But if you can't adjust yourself, find a body shop sounds like a simple fix

The car appears to be in the Philippines and probably bought offshore and taken there. Doubt there'd be a Porsche Certified body shop there so owner has to find the best body shop in the area to try. However, I'd be worried the problem isn't bigger than just a little body work shift (perhaps hit and not repaired properly). Doesn't indicate year of car but when I started watching this forum (when my '13 was being built/shipped) I seem to remember seeing a few threads about a similar issue on early 991 Cabs.
