Its sounds stupid, but have you put the rh hinge to lh side and lh hinge to rh
side?
Not sure if that would work anyway.

Adjustments/ test fits should be made during bodywork. The seal will probably
just make the miss fit even worse. If it isn't too bad then you might just
have to live with it. Most boot lids on Healeys have a fit that is much less
then perfect. Shifting the holes a bit can give you some side to side fit.
Being high in the middle sounds like bodywork.
