Good morning

We have a Nissan Micra. The passenger door doesn't close full and the door sign on dash board is on.

How can I shut the door full

Thank you

Is it not shutting properly because the latch is stuck or is the door catching/rubbing on the car body?
Or is it actually shutting fully but the warning light stays on?

There is a sign in dashboard sign is on. When door is fully closed, u can see it's not fully closed, you can still lock it

Will it close further when you push on it? You may need to adjust the position of the striker plate.

Yes, it will close further when I push it further. What is a striker plate?

Your best bet is probably YouTube or a local bodyshop.
