Open the door, get T45 bit and wrench and remove the striker on the door that can not be adjusted to spec. You need to remove the striker to gain access to the door striker net slots in the body.

Attach the 14 mm drill/reamer bit to a cordless drill and carefully modify both upper and lower 8 mm wide slots of the anchor plate to 14 mm wide.
