I had the same issue with our 78 Royale. I made an 1/8-inch thick shim. ( You may need more. ) And installed that shim behind the striker pin plate. It will now go to the second lock position. With my little finger.

When I removed my hard-pin striker to take it to the machinist as a model,
I discovered that it also has marks on the underside of the flange on the
pin. I'll increase the shim thickness when I reinstall it. Because my
door closes so nicely, I suspect my contact only occurs dynamically, not
when parked & open/closing the door.
