Post a video please? It may help others diagnose the issue for you. I am not the most technical but a lot of people here are so your video could help a lot more.

Whose doors are those and did you contact the manufacturer?

If the hinges are adjustable shouldn't they be all the way down, moving the door up

Looks to me like you got a bad door. Best I can tell from the pics, there’s no way in hell you’re gonna have enough adjustment anywhere to move the latch that far.

this is most likely the issue, have the doors been installed before?

Nope. Just got the 4 doors. The front two were fine. But i have the hinges completely loose and they will not get even close. I was hoping i did something wrong but im thinking the locks are the wrong ones.

Check the part numbers to make sure you didn't get JK doors.

Checked the box... correct doors... checked the lock boxes... labeled DS and PS. Yall.
Yall.
The locks were labeled backwards!
Took them out , swapped sides... put PS on the driver side yadayada and it works.
So. Know anyone installing warn jl tube doors.... tell them to swap sides if they have the same problem!

Here you go. Handles probably labeled wrong from driver to passengers.
