Default 39 trunk latch

Mounted trunk and trunk latch is not even close to hitting striker. Car was hit in rear in distance past and had questionable repairs. Striker is mounted vertically and there is no way it can work in this position. If I mount it horizontally,it will work but is about 1" low. Trunk brace looks to be repaired an is too low. Can anyone post a pic. of a correct trunk striker position ? Thanks, Mark
