How to square up door hinge screw mounts?

OK. I see that now. I've got about 40 years in collision repair industry (auto body). If a door frame has damage I've never used a straight edge to reference off another hinge pocket to determine a repair plan. Did your door get hyperextended? opened beyond the limiter strap? If you give me a little more history I may be able to get you going in the correct direction. Unless both upper and lower hinges are the same i.e. same part # what your seeing with the straight edge may be the way it was designed.One way you could use your method would be comparatively. Meaning do the same thing to a known undamaged door. maybe the door on the other side.
