The door outer panel should be flush with the quarter panel at the hinges and with the cowl side at the front, but not flush with the rocker panel, which is a continuation of the lower body molding of the cowl and quarter panel. The "how much" is determined by the thickness of the lower body molding compared to the body sheet metal directly above the molding on the cowl side and quarter panel side. No photo will accurately convey that, but the use of a depth micrometer or even a good ruler will.

It sounds like your rocker panel at the B or hinge pillar is inward from where it should be.
