Default Slipping Door...

After throwing the door shut a couple of times, I notice the door is tilt and uneven. When i close my driver side door it barely make it over the notch/hook to lock and close properly. How can i adjust the door without making it any worst, then what its is already.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

It is either the door hinge (unlikely) or the latch (likely). The latch has screws to move it slightly up or down so that it closes properly.

Unsure how you could bend the hinges unless you had someone hanging on the door.

One of my doors does the same thing. I will try adjusting the latch.
