I'm not sure if the whole bracket with the door locking pin can be adjusted, but you might try this . . .
The plastic sleeve around the door locking pin decreases in diameter (from age & use?) and/or comes right off. Then the door latch is then closing around a too-small diameter pin, hence the rattling. I have been able to make my rear door stop rattling simply by wrapping a few circles of electrical tape around the pin to increase its diameter. Eventually (usually after a few months or more) I have to remove the tape (it gets chewed up) and replace it. Good Luck.
