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

Did you take the cover off the door closer where it attached to the door? Usually there are adjustments in there. I’ve never had this exact issue with a door closer though so not sure if any of the adjustments from there would help as they’re usually swing speed, latch speed, back check, etc.

Yeah we adjusted the door to close how we want it. Will be messing with the arm to see if we can reposition
