I agree, the only way to get the upper frame into alignment is to "tweak" it by pushing it back into position. Take it slow and it may take a couple people and a bit if ingenuity and muscle. If the back end fits ok then you are going to have to hold that end while somehow pushing the end that is out. Basically you are gently twisting the upper channel back into position. Yeah, it sounds scary, but that's why body shops have hydraulic pullers, porta power etc. I would probably but a block of wood by the back of the door (that's fits ok) then close the door against the block of wood and then start pushing the area that you are having problems with at the front. This should allow you to get the part that is sticking out pushed back where it should be. Yes, make sure the glass is down and you might have to adjust the door glass channel slightly afterwards, probably not but you will just have to see how the glass rides in the channel
