so i continued the troubleshooting today, i realigned the hatch so that the rear spoiler lines up with the side spoilers and there is equal spacing on both sides of the hatch when closed I disconnected the switch and tried to short out the other connection, but no luck, the light remained on. I also connected the switch and pushed the button down (the one located on the passenger side) and no luck.

unfortunately i have a dead battery now and it won't keep a charge for long, I'm going to buy a new one tomorrow so i can continue to troubleshoot this, its amazing what you learn here. I never even bothered to look at the struts, but it seems like the contacts are dirty enough to cause a bad connection, i will clean those out as well. Thanks to those who are helping me with this. I will post pictures of my troubleshooting efforts to maybe help someone else in the future.

The "rear hatch open" indicator on the cluster is ON, and won't turn off, the hatch is obviously closed, the one thing i did notice is that the trunk key hole is seized and won't allow me to unlock the hatch using the key, and while the hatch is closed, the interior trunk light remains on, so i removed the bulb so it won't drain my battery as fast. Ive also tried disconnecting the switch, and NO luck, i think this would actually cause the light to turn ON if there wasn't something else wrong with it. Any POSITIVE input, feedback, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated I'm more of a mechanically savvy guy than electrical just putting that out there. Thanks If there is a way to troubleshoot this please let me know
