Be sure that the front of the front shell, (or the back of the rear shell), is down on the rubber stops on the ends, before trying to latch. I have found that, if I didn't have my front shell on the rubber stops, it was next to impossible to latch the release levers. But, if I make sure the front shell is resting on the rubber stops, I can latch it very easily. On my curb side, I have to pull down on the shell's top as I walk from the front to the back, so I can latch it. If I would think about it when I am going out to set it up, I would take a wrench and loosen the bolt for the front curb side torsion arm.
If your front (of the front shell) is not resting on the stops, back-out the adjustment bolts for the front of the shell a quarter-turn at a time, until it rests properly. Adjust while the shell is open, and test after each adjustment. As Padgett says, it is a little bit at a time.
