There are two settings on the hinges you may need to play with. (Note: I think a moderator may have to approve images before they show up, if you just see ⚠ instead of images below, check back a bit later)
First is this one:

Adjustment screw #4 (on the hinge arm) controls the "swing" of thew door, and it can sometimes help if the door isn't closing all the way.

The other is the bottom one here:

Ajustment screw #3 (on the inside of the door) controls how close-to or far-away from the frame the door sits. Sometimes, if it's adjusted so the door sits too close, it can porevent the door from closing all the way.

Hope this helps!

Thanks smnc!
For anyone else having this same problem, it may seem that adjustment screw #4 does nothing (it was very loose on one side and tighter on the other  and you don’t see any movement when adjusting) but it does do something. Make small adjustments and check frequently. We now have a uniform gap down the side and along the bottom. Be patient and don’t over adjust. Make multiple small adjustments.
