Get, or print out, or just look at, the FSM on glass alignment.
I'm not an E-body expert, but similar logic & parts apply to most Mopars:
Looks to me like the window channel (aka "guide") for in/out is maladjusted, too far towards the center of the car.
That tips the top of the door glass out.
Typically that's the rear channel, with a bolt head & slotted hole at the rear door jamb face.
There may also be another adjustment on the regulator or front channel. You'll need the trim panel off, of course.
There's another adjustment for topping and bottoming out, but get the angle corrected first.
Quarter glass also has adjustments, need to pull rear seat & interior trim panels to access that.

iagree The quarter glass looks OK the door glass needs to come in at the top.

to move the glass in at the top. the tracks need to be pushed out at the bottom.
