It looks OK from what I can see (not a lot I must add). What do you think is wrong? The body section of the hinge looks squint but then you have not bolted it up yet, remember these run on a brass bearing, so there is some wriggle room as long as it is within tolerance of the bolt.Today started fitting my rear door and using a defender rear door so thought i may as well fit the third hinge but does this look right any help would be great before I start drilling holes into new parts

Check the door gap at the top before you drill any holes. The hinge is too far down. The bolt holes should be around 4-5mm up from the bottom of the new galved metal bracket.
This is mine. It’s zoomed in quite a bit, so isn’t the best photo.
