Several patio door options are available.
Nail the rest of the frame up around the door but keep checking with the level to ensure it is equal all the way around.
Start at the bottom and work your way up.
Do not worry about the finishing touches just yet.

Other doors or windows would also be out of square so this solution would fix all the problems.
Hope your not a contractor.
Remove the door frame optional.

Most sliding doors manage to get knocked off kilter at one point or another.

Out of plumb doors either open or close from gravity which is simply annoying.
