I found I got just enough movement to stop the knocking.
Also, try the lock mech in the door, there's a little movenment in that as well.

Im sure they do move,most cars look like that, the adjustment is behind on the nuts.
Mark around it to show original postion then losen them and it should move up, down and in out.

Another annoying rattle is the glove compartment. On mine the left outer upper corner rattled against the surround and there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust it by way of adjustment of the catch..
1. So I used a hot air gun to heat the outer corner until it softened(went plastic) and then bent it inwards.
2. Held it in position until it went cool.
3. At that point it had set in new position.
4. When I now shut the lid it acts as a spring to stop the rattle.
