Those two metal sticks on each end hold up the top so you can clean it. Move them front to back and it will come down.
I did that but when I put the top down, it can still be easily lifted (unlike when I opened it the first time, there was resistance until I moved the "CLEAN" bar from left to right). I
Move the clean bar as your trying to close then. But to me it looks about right.
To clarify, in chronological order, images 3 and 4 are before 1 and 2. 1 and 2 show that the stove is still not back in place
You probably just need to line the tallywacker with the hole and gave it a good chop
