Driver door rattles terriblely

2005 Ranger 3.0 rwd short cab*
My driver door rattles so badly I stuck big chunks of foam in that come on the car doors when they’re on trucks to the dealership I work at in the door jam to quiet it up. Is there any way to tighten the latch? If not how would I go about replacing said door latch? thanks!

Yes, the striker(on the body) is adjustable, so door closes tight
Need correct size Torx socket to loosen and tighten bolts

But does the door sag when opened?
That could be a hinge problem

A common issue is the plastic tubing on the door striker/latch is broken and falls out. Dorman sells a new striker for cheap at any parts store.
