I think I've found the problem.

I tried what you suggested, it had the same issue manually, made sure it was folding correctly and even checked all the visible bolts and joins, all are fine. After pulling the red tab and pressing the buttons the motor made noises but the roof didn't move even after turning the car off and back on which scared me a bit but it's all good now, weird.

Anyway, it looks like one of the panels came loose somehow and me constantly trying to close the roof (and maybe using a little bit of force ) has bent it out of shape.
I can't remove it or put it back where it looks like it's meant to go with the roof on the car as it's in a very tricky spot so it looks like I'll have to take the whole soft top off to fix it unless I can get in from the boot.. I'll see if I can find any guides and hopefully do it on the weekend.

Here's a picture of said panel, it's the best I could get as the glass is kind of dirty and reflective.
