    1999 BMW 323i, top motor won't close after disengaging

    Hi there, we have had to pull the top and tonneau cover motor release to fix a broken arm hinge on the on the tonneau cover. I cannot get the top motor to re-engage, the round toothed gear will go back in, but it seems to be hitting on the surrounding ring. It's done this before and after messing with a long time it finally falls back in. What is it hitting and how can I realign so it fully engages?

    The bracket can be bent.
