You tried to loosen the ball mount on the tailgate and that didn't give you enough room.
Try taking the strut out and compressing it first, it may be stuck a little bit. Be very careful not to bend it or break the plastic tips.

Or put a piece of thin wood between it and the liftgate and let the weight of the hatch compres it an inch or two. Don't break the hinge by bending it too far up.
