Default Adjusting rear hatch latch or actuator

I recently installed a 2014 nismo rear spoiler on my sport. Due to the extra weight of the nismo spoiler it takes a couple on pushes of the button while slightly lifting of the hatch to get the latch to release. With the sport spoiler it would release first time, everytime.

I figured it was the struts not beind strong enough to provide the initial lifting force so I ordered a set of the Z1 super heavy duty struts. It still does the same thing with the new struts. Also, my hatch didn't come with the counter weight installed or I would have taken that out.

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment on the latch or actuator that might fix this issue?
