I think I know your issue...
Did you check your tension cables at the rear/underside of the top? They look like what's below, and are at both sides at the rear...the cables that you must undo when you put the top in the service position to get at the engine. They pull the back of the top down when you close your top. If these snap, as one of mine did, the back of your top will not pull all the way down as what's in your pic. Looks like both of yours are disconnected.

Pedro is right that you can adjust the tension on those cables, but your top looks so off that it looks like those cables simply snapped. Here is how my 03 top looks when closed, and both cables in good shape. Just bring the old broken cable in to your dealer parts dept., and they will get you a replacement. Mine carried them in stock because they told me they see these snap all the time. Or, order by the part number on the sticker in my pic shown above. Btw, credit to this answer to Maurice, who showed me all of this. :)
