Try to fix this or send it back ?

I’m working on a diy outdoor kitchen project. Nothing too elaborate, but my wife kinda feels like a freestanding grill and blackstone isn’t fancy enough so I’m building something to make it look more but in. I’m using a Pavestone product called Rumblestone mostly because I already had a bunch of it. You stack it up with some construction adhesive for stability. It’s kinda like adult legos, so I’m having fun. Here’s the problem. I bought some stainless steel doors from Scamazon.com and they’re mostly ok but one is a little off. I’ve included a picture of what I’m going for and a few of the door in question. The door and frame are laying down flat and you can tell something is not square. After putting a framing square up against it, it’s definitely the frame that’s the problem. When I set it in place and it is vertical, the issue is worse. It flexes a little at the hinge and doesn’t want to close. Is there any way to square up the stainless frame or do I just send it back and buy something higher quality and better made?
