Default BAK Revolver X2 and Tailgate Poor Fit? Adjustment Possible?

I installed my Revolver X2 last night and figured out I cannot close the tailgate due to interference between the drivers side rail and the tailgate.

Upon closer inspection in appears the tailgate is higher on the drivers side than on the passenger side.

Is there a way to lower the tailgate on the drivers side? I could raise the tonneau cover rail on that side, but then I would lose the seal between the rail and bed rail cap.

Pics to come shortly:

FYI that's an easy adjustment. Loosen the two T50 bolts, and move it down slightly.

That is great news, what bolts would I be moving? At the hinge or striker?

At the hinge. There is quite a bit of adjustment room. I installed the factory tailgate damper, and had to adjust mine afterwards.

You have to take the tailgate off, adjust the roller bracket and put the tailgate back on. It's easy and quick to take on/off, but you will probably have to do it a few times to get it just right.
