Default sunroof wont close all the way after i greased it

After cleaning all the build-up on the rails of the sunroof I applied some white lithium grease on the rails. I guess while applying the grease I did something because the rear part of the sunroof wont close (go down) what did i do??

specifically at the front where something might be jammed.

Acura has a service bulletin on sunroofs not closing or opening
it has something to do with the guides
breaking or something
if the car is still under warranty take it to the dealer
but that definitely sounds like your problem

Ive tried doing that but I got to the point where I felt that I was gonna apply to much force and break something.

I think I might have jammed something. I didnt hear anything break though. **** this is pissing me off

the roof slides forward and moves down (angled) at the same time

in the above pictures it looks like it never angled down, it just slid foward.

the module that makes the roof work might have burned out.
