is there power going to the hatch motor? if its all the way down it wont catch at all as I had the same issue over the winter when I pulled my battery and the hatch would never latch down properly. If need be you can adjust it with the 3 bolts that wold it to the body

right in the middle where the "hook" goes to lock down, there should be a "trigger" arm that if you bump it with a screwdriver, will reverse the motor in the "up" position so you can lock 'er down.
