I’ve never done auto bodywork and it seems like half the posts here are results of too much or two little Bondo. Could you explain why so many people suck at using Bondo?

It’s mentioned so often you’d think people would be pros at using it but you can find “poor bondo job” in most comment sections

I included some pictures to show how the latch for my hatch door is slightly at an angle. Most of the time it closes normally but every once in a while, it will close but not latch completely and I have to close it carefully. The trim around the latch doesn’t really fit properly and kind of pops up out of the plugs so I don’t know if it’s because of that or if this angled latch would do a difference.

Edit: I’m betting more on the fact that the trim doesn’t fit securely, but I’m just curious if this angled latch is actually angled enough to make a difference

Removed my hatch interior trim panel to install a backup cam and can’t get it to seat properly. The clips aren’t broken, but the panel won’t stay in place, it only holds while I’m actively pressing on it and pops right back out when I let go. Some adjacent trim pieces are also slightly offset. My backup camera wiring doesn’t seem to be in the way at all.

This car has been in a crash before, but nothing crazy. Do you guys have any tips to make my trim fit better in the rear?

Edit: the biggest hatch trim piece seems like it’s not even clipping, but some of the side pieces in the rear just seem to be offset and clip right out of place when I let go of the pressure.

My backup camera RCA cable is 19.6 feet long and reaches just past my steering wheel. I need about a foot more for it to reach my screen.

I checked the following stores for single RCA extensions:
Best Buy, O’Reily, AutoZone, Walmart, Smiths, local electric shop
