The screw nearest the door inside the cupboard.

Adjust the top hinge to move the door closer to the side (in an anticlockwise direction, if I recall correctly), and the bottom hinge to move the door away from the side.

@Bailey If you’re pushing the hinge a long way, you might need to loosen the screw in the back for the time being. Just enough of a turn to release some of the tension without allowing it to drop. Once you’re aligned, tighten again.

Is the level of units? Obtain two identical replacement hinges, reinstall the door, and check to see whether the misalignment persists.
