Default 00' xj door alignment

Haven't seem to come by a thread that covers this. I lost a door to trail damage, got a new door from FNjeep and can't seem to realign door to body/frame. Any Solutions or maybe even bad things that you've tried before you can tell me not to do!

Are the hinges bent due to the trail damage? If the bottom hinge was pushed in slightly, it might cause the rear, top of the door to hang out. Either that or the replacement door is slightly twisted. Is that the only place it's misaligned?

Yes that's the only spot. Top left if you're looking at the door.

You need to speak with a local body man to give you a better handle on this and see it in person.
