Strip: Forehatch cover spring back

I am completing the Gillemot Great Auk. I cut out the flush hatchs and intalled the fiberglass lip and placed a foam gasket on the hatch to mate withn it. At this point, I discovered the fore hatch has sprung back (not now the shape of the deck). Is there a techniqe to bring this back to conform to the deck shape?
