Default Adjust Fuel Door Alignment?

Noticed my 2023 Powerboost the fuel door doesn't really sit very flush at all with the rest of the truck body. It seems to fit well at the front side but at the rear it must either bow out a bit or the latch is too far out and so it sticks out.

Is there a way to adjust that latch distance to "pull in" the rear of the door a bit and get it flush?

On PowerBoost the fuel door is completely different from non-hybrid. Take it to the dealer.

Check the rubber latch pin and make sure it is NOT ready to fall out.

Big issue with people forgetting and trying to open the door with out pushing the dash release button first.

Next thing you know your on the way to the dealer with a fuel door code and minus the rubber latch pin.

OK, will check it out. I've always pushed the dash button and let it pop itself open. But I'll check the pin.

Otherwise I'll ask dealer next time I'm in there. Just was hoping maybe a quick DIY adjustment.
