Need help adjusting the door

I recently bought a 2011 Superduty. I have taken it to the dealer 2 times for the drivers door rattling. They said they adjusted the latch and moved it in some. They are only adjusting a little at a time so they dont have to take the door off and realign the other door to make sure it stays in line.

After two tries it is now worse. Instead of me taking it to them, where is this adjustment where the latch can be moved causing the door to be more in or out when closed?

Instead of them trying again I figure I can play with it and solve it easily.

Thanks everyone! PS this truck is awesome!

Does everyone think this will fix it? The body shop adjusted my door again yesterday and it's better but I don't see how they moved that hook that holds the door. There are two bolts that do not move for adjustment. How did they move it??
