Moving it to the other indent probably won't do anything, but what will is putting more pre-load on the torsion bar.

You do that by twisting the ends of the bars down some and then putting a spacer under them so they keep that additional pre-load on them.

You can experiment with twisting them to see how much additional pre-load is necessary for them to gently open the trunk lid completely.



You will probably only need to do it on one side.
