Well I adjusted the lights and big improvement. Just a little more tweaking to level out both sides and I'll be happy. About one complete turn on each adjuster to bring them up so they were aimed...

I had a pre-FSI V8, an 05 that had this problem on day 2 of my ownership.

I thought about an S6 as well but seems the web was full of nightmare stories on repair costs because the bigger engine seems to leave even less room for repair work when it's in the car.

I'm thinking the car thinks the trunk is already open, unlatched so it's not actuating the release again.
