So I just finished up changing the actuator because the arm was broken and I replaced one of the plastic bar clops that was broken. Everything seems to be working but now with I hit the power lock, it seems to activate but it doesn't push the lock quite far enough to lock. If I physically push the lick pin down, the hatch locks fine and the power locks will unlock it fine. Is there some type of adjustment that I'm missing?
 
I have not had this problem with the rear hatch, but I have had the same behavior with the left rear door when installing a new actuator (The fix should be the same in both cases). There is a little bit of adjustment in the two screws that hold the actuator to the rest of the assembly. Adjust per pic below.
