Door hitting latch

I removed my drivers side hinges on my 49 thinking they needed rebuilt as the door would hit the latch and would come up about 1/4” to close each time it closed then hard to open. The pin was fine, no wobble at all, just needed new springs. Now put it back together and have the same issue. Gaps are fine when closed, but door hits the latch comes up and closes.

Which adjustment do I have to make to resolve this? Hoping to get my driver door fixed so I can start on my Altman latches this weekend. I read doors should close nice before starting them.

I drilled a 1/8 hole in the hinges before removing them so I could at least get back to original, but not sure where to adjust now.

Thanks in advance
