The door in a bathroom keeps swinging open regardless of the position it's left in. I searched Home Improvement for a solution and this answer said to bend a pin from one of the hinges, which seemed like a reasonable option. https://diy.stackexchange.com/a/252524/181218.

Does it matter from which hinge I pull the pin to bend? If so, which one should I bend?

I added pics of all three hinges. The first two pics are both of the top hinge.

I don't have a good level. I used the level app on my phone and another phone and I've put the phones on top of the door, up by the small edge of the door, and against the main side with the door. I had the door open and almost closed for all those sides. None of those positions indicated anything other than 0 degrees.

That can happen when hinges are not at equal depth in the frame.

unscrew the upper hinge, insert one or two screw washers where the screw fits easily true, and screw the hinge back on with washers under the hinge – as spacers

That should give the door enough tilt too close.

If not try with the lover hinge
