Hi,
Hope you are well. The Hydraulic arms are filled with hydraulic fluid, if the arm is not reaching the full close position, you will need to bleed the arm. Bleeding the fluid will allow a greater open/close distance for the Ram. You should see a bleed screw on your ram arm, only turn this slightly as you do not want to lose excess fluid.
Kind regards
