Door Keeps Getting Stuck Shut - Help?

So Im getting to the final fitting of the door and fenders and all and I have put my door latch in so that I may better adjust and understand how its going to go together,
Yet I run into the issue where my door will go onto the latch and get stuck in there. I push on the handle and it wont budge.
I end up having to grab the bottom of the door and pulling it outward while pressing the door handle and lifting up slightly. Then it violently releases.
I believe its an issue somewhere in my latch assembly, I have three of the flat stock style 'waffle' washers on the top and bottom, as I had seen others use.
Do I need to dig through my stuff and find more? Less?
Does it need to be even top to bottom with the washers or can I angle this thing?
No door seals at all, so thats not an issue.
All help and advice is greatly appreciate, Im more in tune for the Squarebody style door latches.

Thanks!

1970 C10 btw, if it actually matters.
