Default Hatch on trunk stuck

I recently removed the plastic covering of the trunk to install a spoiler. After closing the trunk and double checking to make sure everything is in it's proper place and secure, the trunk get's stuck when I press the release button. It would pop open but I would not be able to open the trunk unless I press the button and pull the trunk itself up at the same time.

Would anybody know how to proceed?
