Boot not even when closed 2013 GT

Hi all. The boot on my 2013 GT is not even when closed. The right side is about an 8th of an inch higher than the left. Once its closed, I can push it down and it stays down. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

The screw closet to rear glass is loose. common problem on 1st gen spurs and gt . I assumed that bentley fixed that by adding a motor to each side on Gen 2 cars.
gen 1 only has motor on right side. if you dont tighten it , it will break I have had two broken on 2 different spurs. you will need a 20 point bit to tighten. screw are under black caps, i would only tighten the one close to glass. fix it now ! The hinge is about $800. if you start to hear a click when trunk is closing its broke already. replacement is easy with the tool however MAKE sure to put something like a thick folded towel to keep trunk lid from coming in contect with glass. if it touches it it will crack. I speak from experience.
