Default Unable to get a fully close door pls help

My right door is not flush fit with the body as seen in first photo.
So I adjusted the door mounting bolts to move door in even till max as seen in second photo but yet it cant move in anymore at the striker side.

Tried adjusting the striker but not much changes.The gaps around the door
looks equalize to me.Also there has been no damage to the door.

Should I adjust the hinge mounting bolts but Im not so sure.Need some help to solve this guys, any help is very much appreciated.

Over the years it became more obvious and no damage was done.
Now after careful inspection notice that the door is slightly lower as compared to the left door.

Looks like the hinge mountings need adjustment.
Should I remove the door or the fender to make the adjustments.

oh yea no damage...k...that's what I was thinking about the fender...did you do the JDM sidemarkers? maybe it happened when they were applied...pop the hood and see how far your fenders are to the left (away from the motor).... but your door is off too... did you check the piece that the door locks onto? I do not know if it can be adjusted...

No I didnt do the sidemarkers.Already tried adjusting the striker u mean
the piece the door locks onto.
Going to adjust the door hinge and removing the fender to gain access to the bolts hopefully it goes well.
