Door alignment to replacement rocker

I figured I'd post a quick experience question before I start getting creative with the body saw and the welder.

I am going through a complete replacement of my inner and outer rocker. After getting the inner rocker and A/B pillars finished, I mocked up the door for the rocker panel alignment today and hit a snag (with the rocker sheet metal screwed in place.

The door line front to back looked good, and the gap consistent around the entire door. Unfortunately, the bottom of the door sits about 1/8"+ out from the outer rocker, all the way across the bottom.

Is there a trick to address this with the hinges? Can I pivot the door to bring the bottom into line? The rockers fit really well otherwise, no need to trim the front or back and they line up with the bottom seam evenly. If anything, the rocker that came off was worse and fit more poorly.

Thanks for any insights!
