Should be able to adjust the door on the hinge bolts to line it up

i got the latch side adjusted that way, im curious about the star shaped bolts, are they a fine adjustment of the hinge pin. pretty much the hinge side needs to raise about a 1/4 in.

Not sure, you can try turning it to see if the door moves at all.
