The handle of my UPVC patio door wouldn't lift up far enough to allow me to lock the door with the key. So, I played around with the Vertical, Lateral and Compression bolts that are part of the Trojan Patriot 3D Flag hinges. The vertical adjustment fixed it, so the door now closes and locks very smoothly.

But I am left with a gap where the door touches the frame, so the the door can wiggle about 2mm in or out if I pull and push the handle. I've tried adjusting the Vertical, Lateral and Cpompresison bolts plus the Cams but I can't see the adjustments make a dfference to the gap. It's not a major problem but I'm thinking it might rattle in windy conditions.

What adjustments - if any - are most likely to fix the gap, please.

The problem with those hinges, it allows the door to drop. So turn the front (outward) allen screw to raise the door. As you rotate it you will see the door move in and out as well.
 
Thank you. Is it adjuster 1 (in yellow) or adjuster 2 (in pink) below that should get rid of the gap, please.
