Spent 3 days trying to align a simple cabinet hinge, turns out it was user error

I kept tightening and loosening the same hinge for three days straight, convinced the screws were stripped or the door was warped. Turned out I had the hinge cup depth set wrong the whole time. Has anyone else spent way too long on a tiny fix that ended up having a super simple solution?

Three days for a hinge sounds about right for my level of home repair genius.

Read somewhere hinges are just advanced levers, still took me three tries.
