I adjust these by lightly setting the screws then sitting on a milk crate and peering in the gap as I *almost* close the door and then adjust so the pointed spear bit enters the round hole bit dead center ~ then you tighten up two screws diagonally and see if the door closes O.K. .
If so, tighten the other screws really well and you're good to go .
Some times it takes me three or five tries before I get it Just So so don't panic or have a spazz, just keep at it .
The proper closing doors is a delight and well worth the effort .

That’s what I’ve been doing with this one, I figured it was because it was a Cheap POS.
I will buy the good one, thanks for the info.
