Did you put the shims back in if it had some? Mine has shims and without them it was messed up. check your fender also. I had one pushed in a little and did the same thing

I made my doors easily removable a couple days ago and I had the same prob for about an hour or 2. I took my hinge on the door and when I put the bolts in a slide towards the edge of the door (forward outside lip of the door) and slowly tighten the bolts and it shut perfect. I can take some pics if I didn't explain it very well.
Just slide them forward more and it should barely clear
