maybe the metal hinge or mounting point is fatigued, causing it to bend back.
did you use a torque wrench?

sorry i dont have much more to offer but re-fitting a door and making it line up isn't easy. keep trying.
try it with the door open and mark the hinge location so you can keep track of how much you are moving it. use a floor jack to support the weight of the door, put a 2x4 and something soft (to protect the paint) in between the jack and the door.
good luck
