Well depending on the vehicle it might var. Usually the brackets have slot so you can get it roughly in place. Then you can pick up or twist the door to tweak it into place.

There is usually no adjustment. GM trucks are notorious for the door pin bushings wearing out and causing the door to sag and not line up properly.

First give the suitable sport to the door and then loose the door hinge hardware. Then adjust the door to the correct position then tight the hinge.
