What can I do? Is the lid just warped? Just replaced the door hinge as that snapped off.

My previous 575 Pro blew over in the wind, suffering mainly door damage. I used a panel beater hammer to knock out a couple of significant dents but the door was still slightly misaligned.

I used a third party self adhesive gasket similar to below given the 575 Pro doesn't have one as standard, I assume the Pro 34 is the same?

Plenty to choose from, some aren't self adhesive and you can use a suitable silicone sealant to stick the gasket in place which could be useful for bigger gaps? Solved my issue and stopped the resulting smoke loss, conversely I was planning on fitting one in any case.
 
This is an easy fix 99% of the time. Most of these grills don't have a lid stop to help hold the lid so they rely on the little stop in the hinge to hold this huge lid.
What has happened is the hinge barrel that is part of the lid has been rolled forward and throws off the alignment. No need for taping the seam or anything drastic.
Take a big set of channel lock plyers.
Grab that hinge roll as you are standing in front of the grill and rotate the barrel back to the back of the grill. You may need to take the hinges off first to make it easier.
I just do it on the grill so I can see when it is back in position.
Easy fix
