just looks like the catch is way too high... the lift bars being bent wouldn't cause this IMO because the gap at the bottom of the trunk is pretty even.
Check the bottom part of the latch / catch bar mechanism. it has slotted mounting holes so that you can move it up and down, try moving it all the way down, and make sure there are no spacers making the catch bar lower than it should be.
I had a very similar problem on my s13's hatch when i first got the car, some previous owner had put washers under the catch bar to space it down to "fix" the rattling hatch. all i did is return everything to normal and set the latch down more and now it's perfect.
Good luck
