Door latch adjustment

I spent most of an afternoon getting the pass door adjusted nicely in the opening, with one minor problem. When the door is closed, it's very difficult to lock. With the door open, the mechanism is nice and smooth.

I'm pretty sure that the star wheel is stopping on a 1/2 tooth and interfering with the locking arm. Is there a way to clock the star wheel so that it's fully engaged with the striker? Since I'm happy with the door gaps, I'd rather not move the striker if I can help it.

TIA
Loren
