Door adjustment issue

I've researched a bunch on aligning doors, but I am still having some difficulty.

I just replaced the innner/outer rocker on the drivers side. The door was very rusted so I bought a replacement along with replacement hinges.

My fender is off, so I have great access to hinge bolts for adjusting.

My issue is I can't get the door far enough to the rear of the cab. I have about a 1/4 inch gap to maybe a bit more. And when I mount the striker it is extremely tight to close because the door is not far enough back.

I used some washers between the hinge and the door and that seems to be moving it in the right direction. I think I will need close to a 1/4 of washers to get it right. Does this seem ok?
