SOLVED! Turns out there was a loose screw stuck in the latches inner part and because of that you couldn’t pull out the latch fully. The solution I came up with was to turn the whole mac upside down dislodging the screw.

Is the lock enabled? You could try a little WD40 sprayed into the handle area. Don’t over do it, a little goes a long way.
