Default Vertical Trunk lid Adjustment?

My trunk lid sits about 1/16 of an inch higher than the quarter panel. Is there a way to adjust the trunk (vertical)?

does it sit roughly the same amount on the other side lower? With my aftermarket trunk lid I used very thin washers to shim the trunk level.

The passenger side looks flush with the QP.

I also noticed... the gap where the top of the QP and top of trunk lid mesh up, is wider on the drivers side, vs the passenger side.

Is there a way to adjust the trunk left or right to center it?

unloosen the two bolts and shift it over.

Are you referring to the two bolts that hold the trunk lid onto the hinges? Those are slotted up and down, but I dont think left/right.

Just want to make sure Im looking at the right bolts. Thanks!
