Default fix leaking (badly installed?) door sill plate

I have a steel door to my balcony with an aluminum door sill plate that
slopes inward. I can't tell if the house has settled oddly or if it was
installed badly in the first place (the latter I think -- looks like the
mason may have set the brick too high for the rough opening because the
plastic weather stripping piece at the bottom of the door fits to the sill
perfectly).

I wanted to try and reposition the sill plate, but I can't figure out how
it's attached to the door frame. When I pry up the front and back it feels
like it is attached about 1/3 from the front/outer edge.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
