As Glen says, give it a liitle time to let the hatch seals soften up and compress. Also, if its cold in your location, that may contribute since the seals will be less flexible. And keep in mind, no car I know of will latch the hatch or trunk entirely if just letting gravity do all the work, especially as there are gas struts specifically intended to hold it up. As long as it hits the first catch, just gently push the hatch the rest of the way down. Only powered latches will pull it down completely (like the C6 Corvette had) but those add unnecessary weight, cost and complexity. Modern cars are considerably more air-tight as a result of reducing road noise and improving aerodynamics.
