Drive lock not latching roof front shell on the windscreen nor in the boot (when roof down)

Dear all,

My roof stopped working. I scanned the car and there was a problem with the microswitch both left and right in the rear shell, I check the wiring with a multimeter and there no current passing through the wiring so I replaced the wiring on both sides with reinforced wiring 5000000 bents guaranteed (advised in this post viewtopic.php?t=108814). To do this I had to remove both the rear and front shell. The wiring I replaced is absolutely fine and the microswitches are working absolutely fine if you touch them on my diagnostic in ISTA the status changes to yes/no when you touch them. So the work was done well.
However, when I put the shelves back (front and rear), now I am getting an error about the latch driving lock. I have a picture from ISTA.
At this point I removed the latch motor from the front shell and tested with a 12W power supply. It is operating normally.
I also checked using my multimeter the wiring that from the CTM sends the power supply to the latch motor. The wiring is not broken and there is a supply of 12V when the CTM sends the power supply.
I have the feeling that the roof is not aligned rather than a damage, but I might be wrong so I need a second opinion.

Hello there,
I just wanted to let everyone know that this has been sorted. Everything was done correctly and the roof module CT89 needed to be reset using tool32.

In case someone was wondering.
