Freezer door (side-by-side) will no longer close all the way

Recently I moved the refrigerator into the garage until it was repaired (evaporator fan issue, now fixed). Since then, the freezer door will not close all the way and I have to prop something up into it to keep it closed. I can’t tell if there is ice in the gasket, and I can’t figure out what it is that is preventing the door from closing. Yes, there is a small tear in gasket.

Could I have jarred something in the door alignment during the move? I don’t think it’s a leveling issue because you have to push pretty hard to keep the door closed. Before the move, the freezer door was fine (though it did pop open from time to time).

Edit: When I push the door closed, I can see the hinge forced slightly forward, possibly indicating that there is some additional thickness between the door and the unit that wasn’t there before, perhaps on the bottom near the hinge.

Thanks!

I would carefully check both door and hinge cams.

The way it works is that your door actually rides up and down on the cams.
When closed the door is riding on the down face of the cam so gravity is pushing it towards the fridge frame and is holding the door closed.
