Not getting drawers and doors to align?

I have fidgeted and fidgeted with all these screws and I cannot get the drawers and doors to align.

Specifically,

The drawers--how to get them to go to the left. Am I supposed to turn both of the screws (L and R) at the same time? I am really starting to strip these plastic screws from all my work so if anyone knows exactly what should be done I would appreciate any help.

The doors. I have several doors where the top seems to stick out from the door (i.e. not make contact) whereas the bottom of the door is fine. How do I bring it in to touch the door?

Thanks!

I keep looking at photos of everyone else's beautiful alignment and it makes me sad.

On the drawers, you loosen the screw indicated, MOVE THE DRAWER FRONT WHERE YOU WANT IT, and then tighten the screw. I had to fish out a couple of those screws thinking that turning the screw would move the drawer front. It doesn't.

And for the doors, you need to adjust the screws on the hinge itself, not where the hinge is attached to the door. Here's a link to a tutorial

Doh! I thought it was just me. I have the exact same issues.

One door is tight on the bottom but sticks out about 1/8" at the top, which I notice right away. Same with the drawers, I have a 4 drawer unit that is rather unsightly at the moment.

I gotta go do some adjusting!!
