The 9/16 bolts that go through the upper hinge into the door go through a sheet metal "panel" with three holes cut in it, one for each bolt. But a 9/16 socket won't fit through that hole, which means the bolt can't be tightened down.

What am I missing? (And how did I get those bolts out at disassembly??)
