Default 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback - fuel cover issue

For many years now the fuel cover door does not shut flush with the body. The non-hinge side sticks out just a tad. I cannot figure out how to make it so it shuts flat. Please help!

Should I bend it outward, toward the right when facing it in its shut position?
