It looks correct to me. The only thing I noticed is the rods that attach to the Trunk hinge are not touching the notch on the bracket. (hard to describe). Is your trunk lid partially closed in the picture? Push the trunk fully up while looking at the hinge area rods. Then close it a bit while looking. It may help you understand the notches I am talking about.

The aftermarket torsion rods aren't strong enough. They aren't bent correctly. I went through the same problem. Torsion rods for trunk lid with spoiler wouldn't hold trunk lid up without the spoiler installed. Put my rusted original rods on and trunk lid stayed up. Find some original ones
