How can I fix this metal band???

Hey guys just like the title says how can I fix this metal band going around the rear hatch glass?? I made a side to side adjustment last night cause the hatch sits off way closer to the passenger side then the drivers side and I noticed this just today. I dont know if that was from the adjustment or if its just been like that for awhile. I went around the perimeter of the metal with a flat screwdriver and VERY carefully gave it a twist and it seems like the drivers side is nicely attached right up until you get to what you see in the picture, But the passenger side seems really loose and can move quite a bit more when compared to drivers side. Is there a way to fix it with the hatch still on or am I looking at having to remove it and seal it on somehow??? Thanks for your reply and time guys verry appreciated!!
