That front door is no longer square so its a bit off (shifted at the joint where the rail meets the stiles). Drill a 1/4 hole where the screws go and stick a piece of 1/4 wooden dowel with carpenter glue, let dry for 20 min, and reinstall door, shim (if there are any) if necessary. Hitting the framing is really the key, but the off set hinge screw location may not allow you to tie it to the stud. If it still doesn't fit, you might have to shim out the bottom a little (two business cards) or shave the top of the door. Check the screws that connect the hinge to the door. That seems to be pulling itself apart also from the photo.
