Long story short, found out this morning with the spring put back, unable to get one side bolted in, apparently the hinges got damaged at some point. Now know why there is old rub marks.
Looking for measurements from the top of body lip where terminates to corner of body hinge and between the hinges. Hopefully can see where the roll over ends just above my thumb, that is the point meant.
Thank y'all in advance.

The gap as shown tells me the hinge bracket needs to move forward and the decklid up a bit. If the hinge bracket is currently adjusted full forward or the decklid full up, then most likely the bracket itself is bent downward. To bend the bracket back into shape, one can simply insert a screwdriver into one of the two gaps/holes in the end of the bracket then push up and forward.
Due to variances from car to car, the measurement you're looking for isn't necessarily going to be useful.
