It's hard to tell from the photos but it looks like the top of the door skin needs to go over the top of the frame more and that should make the bottom tube come closer to the skin. I've always welded the hinge mount after the skin and frame are fitted and bonded together. My guess is the hinge pad on your frame isn't welded on in the correct place based on the way the point near the steering is almost hitting the body.

I've only done a couple Hi-Tech's but I used Lord's Fusor to bond the frame to the skin. They have several different formulas, I've only tried this one.

My Hi-Tech project is back on track. Got some questions for you.
1. My HT Door skins and HT door frames are not fitting well. See in the photo the top tube will not fit into the skin. Any ideas?
2. The door frame radius doesn't match the body radius. Any ideas?
