Door Latch Adjustment

Hi everyone,

I am a long time user and have found most of my answers by researching the forum but could not find much on this subject. My door will not close without slamming the door. My striker is new, I used graphite spray on the latch but it made no improvements. I fear that I need to adjust the position of the striker. Anyone have any tips/trick for adjusting the door latch?

In the pics I put tape over the striker hole and a little Molly grease on the latch pin to see where they met. As far as I can tell it looks pretty much dead center. I marked the position of the latch before removing and got it as close as I could. The latch looks like it is about as far outboard as it can go so it should hit the latch mechanism, no problem. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!!!
