You can see the bump stops in the image from the service manual. Between them and the seal it will give a certain springiness to closing the hatch. Some have commented that they need to lean on these points to close the hatch properly but either that or the drop from a bit of a height works fine for closing it. The springiness shows the seal is pushing up against the lid and making the seal watertight, also supported by the bump stops.
The OPs issue was occasionally seen in Evora circles when the cars were quite new. It’s a balance to get the back pressure right with a new car but as seen here, if it’s a little too much it can “grab” the striker and stop the lock mechanism from releasing. Once you know what’s going on it becomes a non issue.
