Default 73 door bumpers?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Doing a few winter touchups and have never been able to get my pass door to close quite right. With door aligned to the body and window down, the door will rattle a little as it is not pulled in as tight as it should be. I can push on door and get another 1/4" inward movement.

With window up, I can adjust everything to get a tight fit, but probably putting a little more pressure on the window than optimal.

It is almost like the weather stripping needs to be a lot thicker or thicker bumper stops. However, driver side components are identical and closes like it should.

These door stops stick out about 3/8", does these look like the correct ones?

In the first pic, window up and lines up correct. Second pic is window down with me pushing on door, squeezing it past the qtr panel.

Any thoughts?
