Close the hatch, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for a couple minutes and try opening again.
That did work was able to get it open now find out what disconnect to cause issues

Its a safety feature, not sure the trigger but I think the hatch position loses memory somehow and that is the only way to reset the memory. Maybe leaving the hatch open too long after tuning the car off.

I figured the logic got out of wack when i left the motor unplugged and tryed to operate.
So it was not closing and resetting.
Here a video of it working without panel on so others may not go through my pain.
