Neither the FAM or Shop Manual specify the gap at the rear of the door. They do call for 1/8" +/-1/16" gap at the hinge post. As long as the door closes without rubbing, and the gap is even, you're probably OK. I can't tell from you picture, but it looks like your hinge side gap is pretty small, especially at the top of your patch panel. I would concentrate on getting that correct first, then deal with the rear gap, adjusting so it doesn't rub.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
