Hinges will not close flush?

I added some 3/4 plywood doors to these steel cabinets.

Unfortunately, I think the screw heads prevent the doors from closing. I’ve used both flat screws and round head/ sheet metal screws but it seems as if the hinge joint (?) itself is too shallow.

-The first screw came with the hinge.

-The second screw I added bc it seemed better.

-The third screw was on the original steel door.

I currently have the 2nd screw in the plywood and the 3rd screw in the cabinet.

  1. Is it the screw heads and I need flatter screws?

  2. Do you have alternatives/ recommendations?

  3. Is the hinge joint itself too small?

Honesty is appreciated more than politeness.
