Painting my car, but rear hatch out of align??

my buddy paints cars, and we have it all prepped and ready to go but the end of the hatch where the 3 peice spoiler sits (removed now) doesnt line up with the ends of the body (where the 2 tail peices of the spoiler are supposed to be) ...

the hatch sits out further then the body goes, and was wondering if you can unbolt and move the hatch up or towards the front of the car more so its aligned?

Don't move the hatch? That a factory performance mod. That little bit it peaks out is good for 7/10s from the extra down force
