you shouldn't/can't really bend the hinges. very strong, and not the right way to do it. if you shim the top hinge to lower the back of the door, you'll lose the door/rocker gap. if the door/rocker gap is even now, you need to lower the whole door. you can't realistically take off the hinges easily. do all your work with the door on, otherwise you have no point of reference. easy to make a shim, just take one out, trace on sheet metal and cut out, or use shims from an auto supply, one for each hinge bolt. to lower the door, loosen the hinge bolts, and use a rod and hammer to tap the hinge down. sometimes it tales a little bit of force because they get stuck in place.
