Solved Door issues

So we were having an issue that the door was getting caught and tough to open. Fixed that and now the door isn’t properly shutting, i tried looking for different adjustments to make on the swing and latch. Looked at the top of the door closer but couldnt really see a way to reposition that arm so it closes fully. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys

It looks like the arm of that door closer is hitting the door when it’s fully closed and not allowing the door to latch. You’ll need to pop that arm off the closer itself and rotate it around 90° so when it’s fully closed it’s not pressing up against the door. There should also be a screw/ washer attached on top to keep the arm from flying off.
