Stuck hatch mechanism FC3S

Having an issue with my hatch not locking when I close it and it takes a couple of tries. Thinking about using some spray lube to see if it helps. Anyone have tips?

Two bolts at each latch. It helps to get a second person in the hatch area to loosen up the bolts, move the latch, then you can close the hatch from the outside and see how it operates. Will take a few tries.
