There are 4 bolts at the top of the hatch, two on each side. Loosen those with I think a 15 mm wrench, it's been a while since I did it, so it may be different. Anyway, you can loosen those a little bit, realign the hatch and tighten them back.
Depending how far and how long (time) it's been off centered; you may cause a leak when you move it. So look at the seal contact area. Also the outer bolts/nut seem to rust more compared to the inner two. Take a close look before removing, if rust can be seen (from interior hinge side) get some from a junk yard or something, before you start. Depending on how much rust; you may never be able to tighten them due to the bolts index'd shape is rust'd away. I've ran into to the bolt rusted deal a short time ago when I removed the metal trim part to repaint them. It's an easy job.
