The problem is that the shocks are designed to lift the weight of the OEM hatch. Try to remove one of them if that doesn't work then you might have to remove both of them and go to Auto Zone of something like that and find one that has less force.

At least your shocks connect to you hatch. I got one of the original hatches and the bolt and thread size didn't match with the stock hatch shocks. You could probably find some aftermarket ones that would work alright for your application.
