Default need help with doors. 99 civic coupe

I had to change the passenger door a while back. When I put the New door on, it sagged. The locking Mech and striker weren't lining up. I had to lift the door in order for the door to completely close. I figured it was the New door so I changed it again today. Result....the same problem, it sags. Any one with ideas as to why it would sag? Thanks for the help.

Align the door. You can't just bolt in on and keep going.

You need more than one person to do it properly and safely.

I know when to ask for help. I just need a nudge in the right direction. A second set of hands? Check!

Use a jack. Loosen the bolts, jack it up from the bottom of the door. Then tighten them up

Of course use padding of some sort. Don't damage your door

You can do it alone. takes longer, maybe more frustration and chances to not get it done correctly or not at all.
