The hinge for the console door on a charger. It seems that all the console I look at the hinges are bent or tweaked and the door never fits right.

Seems like I did see some re-pops once but I cannot find them now.  71+Charger console is the same. Tweaked is common, mine was that way since I got the car in '75...I used to jack with it to no avail but over the years I've learned a thing or two about how things work so last year I took the the lid apart, glued the broken underside together, straightened out the metal hinge pretty good & patiently adjusted till it looked & worked better than ever.... added a little strip of foam to the contact points to keep it nice & tight.

make sure it si not on upside down , it can be installed with the hinge reversed & the door will not sit right

Your hinge my not be the problem, it could be that your lid is warped.
