    You need to move the hinges on the cabinet doors. If they fit the openings well, you may have to leave them alone.

      I was planning on painting the cabinets but fear the color change will make the mistake alignment more obvious...

    To add to Dee's point, do you have exterior hinges or the ones in side the cabinets? Sometimes the interior (Euro style) hinges need a tweak or two, there should be a point for inserting an Allen key wrench

    If the exterior hinges wrap around the inside of the face frame they can only be adjusted up and down a little by loosening the screws and pushing the door up or down. If the are screwed to the face frame on the outside there is no adjustment. You may need to replace the hinges.

    There are adjustable hinges but that would mean changing all of them. If you can take the hinges off and use wood filler where the holes would be. That would work. Then put the hinges in the right spot. Hope that makes sense.

    Try taking one door off and see if you can reset the hinge. A picture would help.
