check its got the correct sized pins thru the 2 hinges as that would make it crooked. and the shutter pin & catch alignment.

if no luck tho, hinge guides might need a smack like nova-taken said. if u have to whack it, make sure u treat any exposed steel afterwards as the paint will most likely crack (if not happened allready) and rust will set in prety speedy.

wtf are you hammering them for, just unbolt the hinges from inside the car and jiggle till it's straight.

^Does that not mean removing at least part of the headlining?

Yes the very rear part will need pulling down.
