the first fit should be with hinge bolts loose enough to be able to muscle the door a bit to get the gap even all around and up/down, the striker/latch may pull it in
you do need to install the latch and see how it works - also keep in mind that the weatherstrip will change things, maybe a lot, especially down the leading edge - helps to put one on for a test fit, even the old one if you have it .... run your fingers under the bottom edge and check the fit there, might be binding on the step edge part way back, should be an even finger tip gap front to back
stand back and let's see a pic of the whole door, and another showing the front edge, especially at the dogleg
