I guess you have 2 or 3 hinges on the door with an allen screw in the bottom under a cap?? If so, then you have to unscrew all the screws a bit at a time to drop to where you want. The chances are they've never been set properly and all the weight is on one , so when you get it right, make sure the load is equal on all the screws.

Well, I have read your question...and can't seem to make much sense of it. However, I can give you tips on how to shim a swing door.
Each hinge can be shimmed either on the pin or the stop side to adjust the door in the opening. It can also be shimmed on the door itself, but it is better to shim the jamb hinge.
Unscrew one hinge at the jamb, insert a shim either on the pin or the stop side made of folded cardboard, plastic pieces, etc... Re-install the screws and see where you have moved the door. Adjust this process until you have the door square.
