I think they used cruder methods to get them to fit in the factory, but shims can help. Donor panels are often challenging.

They used shims on the striker plates in some cases.

Finally got them to line up close to where they need to be at least on 3 doors
I'm missing one striker and some adjusting plates but will do for now
