Found this kettle on this side of the road and I’m trying to clean it up. I know it’s a small detail but on my other performer my lid stays up at a 90 degree angle. I just can’t seem to get this one right! If anyone can see something wrong please let me know!

I jealous you found this puppy!
In all seriousness, mine has this issue as well. All that needs to be done is to disassemble the lid holder and bend it a bit. Mine is so old, I probably can’t get it apart, so I haven’t done it. I just set my lid next to the grill if I need to access that side.
Mine now has an onlyfire smoker barrel on it, so I don’t even use the holder anymore as it’s now a WSM on wheels.
Yes, my holder sits at what looks like a weird low angle but that’s actually what keeps the lid at that 90° position. Just needs to be bent as Mr. Darts (Ted Lasso?) said.
Until Gen 4, the perfomer lid bracket didn’t allow the lid to go fully to 90 degrees. You can get the newer bracket and replace. The one you have is similar to the master touch.
