Default 855 tailgate latch adjustment

Many years ago I had the tailgate latch on my 855 T5 replaced or repaired. Before that it closed perfectly. After the replacement/repair I had to slam it to close it. At the moment the trim is off for a different repair so I thought I would look at how to adjust the latch to get it to close easily again. I can't see how to do that.

Anyone know please?

Thanks.

Bob

I was looking at the part on the tailgate but had not considered adjusting the lower part. Thanks.
