The hook is for the fuel cap strap to hang over when you remove the fuel cap to fuel the truck. Keeps fuel tank cap from hanging down and hitting the side of the bed. No help on the door not shutting, mine seems to almost have a "spring" type closure that when the fuel door gets close to closing it closes quickly without having to keep my hand on it.

Had the same thing on my 2017. Drove me nuts. Dealer replaced the fuel door assembly under warranty. The piece that swings out that the body piece hooks onto was warped. That fixed my problem.
