Default how to get rid off this gap on tail light?

As you see on the pic, about half inch gap there.
I thought all 98+ teg has that much gap.

Do I have problem with hatch door?
or my tail light?

I think my tail light is OEM.
so it shouldn't have any gap.

I am the second owner, so first owner might had accident.....

my question is, can i fix this problem not spending any money?

Im tired of spending money on this car..... lol

the shape of the left side of the hatch looks funky, have you messed with the hinges at all?

Sorry I can't help, but I understand that it bugs you. Because the gap on EG front bumpers bugs the **** out of me.
