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.

It looks as though the edge of the brick is holding up the sill's outside
edge so it is bent. If you were to chip away the brick so the sill would
not bend upward, this might help. You might then be able to bend it back
to its intended position.

I recently installed a new door and the aluminum sill was attached at
bottom of left and right jambs. \

When you are all done, a bead of caulk between sill and door would help
make install look clean.
