Ah you missed the part about partially tightening etc. I did that but
with my hand to get it alligned as far as it got. I will try this with a
towel wrapped 2x4 :D
Although I am still not sure how this is going to make the trunk leading
edge corner go down vertically. Maybe I need to take a pic.

Is this your 123 or 124? I don't know about the former, but I have
put a
junkyard trunklid on a 300E and it took a lot of fiddling with the
hinge
bolts to get to sit straight and seal right.

You know, I was not kidding about the 2X4 and rubber hammer.
The 2X4 spreads out the force of the blow so you don't damage the
paint or dent it etc.
Tighten the bolts to the point where it does not move all that readily
and bump it into place. Then tighten the bolts some more.
Faster than trial and error adjustments.
