There are 4 different hinges
L upper (has the "spring" to hold the door open)
L lower
R upper (has the "spring" to hold the door open)
R lower
As for adjusting. SUNG the bolts up, NOT tighten them. Just enough to support the weight of the door, but still allow you to move it.
Then GENTLY close the door, looking for contact with the fender, rocker, cab etc. the move the door accordingly. Once you get it where you want it, Tighten the bolts

take the two out of the door and remove it, then you can get to the three that hold the hinge to the body

That works as well as a ratchet strap and a garage door track
