I have it done on the left passenger door,it was miss aligned a bit.
Pry the plastic cover on the driver's side pillar.The latch "pin" is held by 2 torx(I think 2 ) bolts.Loosen them a bit so you can slide it towards interior,tighten them up.Try closing the door.If the objective is reached,no further steps are required.But,don't slide it a lot from the first time.I also scratched the paint around the base in its original position,slightly,so it gives a position alteration feedback.
That's it.
