How do I raise the back of the door up so it catches the latch better

Hinges seem tight

Raising just the back requires either moving the bottom of the door back or the top hinge point forward. You have to remove the upper and lower panels on the door interior to get at the bolts. It'll change the gap on the door at various places, so you have to watch for that.
You may just need to adjust the striker on the body. Before you move the door, be sure that it really needs it. If the molding matches with the body at the back, don't mess with the door position. That's where it needs to be.

Check the hinges again. Pretend that you are doing it for a customer which you do not like. The doors are heavy. Bend your knees and really pick up on it at the rear end of the door and look for movement.
Worn out hinges eventually feel "tight" from galling and rust. They will still sag, so you need to double check before you try something else and end up chasing your tail.
Been there, done that. It turns out that I do not have a tail..

Thanks guys

Will investigate further

But I do happen to like this customer

When I am working on my own truck I have to battle with who I have less respect for. The "customer" or the "mechanic."
They both simultaneously get on my last nerve at times.
