Default Loose passenger door panel

Well, it's loose at the upper part of the panel. The PO put a long screw in door panel as a "fix" I did do a search on this, but all results are old. Just wondering if anyone can give me tips on how to fix this.

I just looked at my 94. If I pull the edge of the door away, I can see that the closest rib (hook) is cracked. It does not have the screw, but the bump in the panel that it screws into is there.
I suspect putting a screw in the correct way will fix the problem.

It has worked for 10 years and going strong on my 94. The screw is totally hidden under the door sweep lip.

Only found these 3 cracks in the ribs. I doubt that is my problem. Or is it? Pics. And no, I didn't put that screw in the upper left part of the panel. That was on one of the PO's.
