Open and close door carefully so everything moves into position.
Check square.
Mark.
That should align it enough to set everything else.
Tighten it down after a few more tries with easy movement and proper fit to both sides and equal around the frame.

Depending on the hinge plate. Some have no adjustment on them Which are very common ( we use lots of those and are actually stronger then the "wing" looking type and lower profile). The hinge plate OP shown us in the second pic has a elongated slot that allows what you described. The adjustment is in those hinge adjustment screws. Again, look at the gap between door and cabinet. As long its it has 1/8" then it should be fine. Adj from there. Sometimes, cabinets themselves aren't plum and most people fake it with adjusting doors to fit.
