It's out of adjustment you'll have to get it open to adjust it either by reboltinghinges or have a mechanic or body guy do it.

I was able to open and close before it got jammed. I pulled the plastic mold around the door because it caught some of it and it tore it up. With that out of the way I still can't open it. I put all the hinges back to their mark spots so I don't know. The middle latch picture 3 doesn't release from the hook that comes from the frame. I was only able to loosen the bottom hinge but the top and back one a blocked. I can get to the middle latch but I can't slide it to unlock

Probably the door has to be lifted up to free it up you really shouldhave this professionally adjusted.
