Discovery Tailgate alignment and rear light cap issue

Does anyone has an tailgate alignment issue on you D5? I recently noticed my D5 has a tailgate alignment issue. The tailgate looks higher on the right side when it is closed. This might cause another problem for my bumper and rear right light cap, which has a big gap from the bumper. See below photos for detail.
I brought my car back to the dealer, and they said everything is fine and installed properly. It is a "Design issue". They also show me other D5 in the service center which have similar issue like me. However, those cars' problem are minor than mine.
Just wondering whether anyone has similar issue like me.

Thanks.

Design issue or not, that read right lens cap is sticking out too far. As for the lift door, it should be adjustable.

The D5’s are assembled by the Three Blind Mice so it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Yea, you are correct it is misaligned and looks like crap. Take it back and have it fixed.
