Driver door alignment

How or what needs to be done to align my driver door? Ever since I have owned it it has been a little off. When the door is open it doesn't sag or squeak nothing seems loose or bad. But the belt line is a little off. Also the door gap is not hitting. It's only by drivers door. Thanks! 2011 mcs.

Quick fix

You can adjust the striker in the door sill. Mine was way off like your and now it is flush. You just use a T40 torx bit and loosen the two bolts, give it a few taps inward and go from there until the door closes flush.

You can see on mine where the dirt is where it used to be, now it’s pushed inward.
