Trunk lid doesnt fit anymore!

Ok so I just took my trunk lid off the take out those bars that run in between the two brackets. I got the bars off fine but as soon as I tightened the bracket on the drivers side, the other bracket didnt line up, in fact its not even close. when I try to close the trunk lid with both the brackets attached to the rear deck, the passenger side of the lid wont close all the way and its about an inch out towards the bumper rather than flush. This is a huge problem for me, I need some help ASAP!!!!!

I thought my trunk lid was bad with almost a half inch gap on the passenger side.
