I am replacing my old kitchen cabinet hinges. I bought amerock 3/8in inset hunges and they fit most of my cabinets perfectly except for 2 cabinet doors. I compared them to the old hinges and noticed the inset is slanted forward on the old one and its straight up on the new one. I cant find slanted hinges. is there a way i can bend the new hinges to be slanted like the old ones. New hinge on top old on bottom in the photo below. Any help would be appreciated

I would wonder if, without the hinges, how tightly the door fits the opening, and could the hinges being bent, been done to hide an undersized door.

You could try a little hammer persuasion.
