Default door problems! dont know what to do!

So my driver side doesnt quite sit flush to the rest of the car! i checked the gap on the inside when the door is close to see how far the top of the door frame is from the body on both the driver side and passenger sides. the driver side i can fit my whole finger in between where the passenger side is about half the size. I adjusted both the door hinge and the latch on the door itself to see if i can get the door to sit closer to close the gap. when i drive on the freeway the door shakes and i can hear air coming in from the top of the door frame. when i put pressure on the door from the outside i can get it to sit all the way in the proper position. its almost as if the latch isnt snug and has room to move. does anyone know how to fix this and get it to sit all the way flush and seal better?

The first step is always to consult the service manual:
