Try taking seal back off and checking the gap on the inside all the way around the door with the door closed using various sized drill bits to see how wide the gap is at it sounds as though you have that gap to tight in that location. You could also wipe the seal with armor all to allow slip past the seal rather than the door catching on it.
My son has suggested that with the upper door hinges having the door stop check on them only that when ever the door has been allowed to swing forward in the past that every time the door check stops the door at it's maximum allowed travel the doors momentum and weight slowly over type distorts the front door jamb area and flange so that slowly over time the flange it's self begin bending outward as the center section of the pillar slowly tries to twist in this area. So while the seal is off I'd also check the flange you are attaching it to and make sure it's straight and not angled outward if so a small bending of the flange can make a remarkable difference in that area. Finally 8iyou only used your hand to push these on instead use a hammer to knock them into position as if the seal not fully seated on the flange it will cause a problem with the seal protruding to far into the door opening.
