For years I would use clamps to along the length of the frame or door

problem would be if the rails were in too far to begin with. I would have
to tap the rails back out to the ends of the stiles flush with the clamp
face,

Below Is my solution that requires no tapping and it pulls every thing up
snug and flush,
After tightening the clamps pulling the sides of the stiles up to the ends
of the rails I remove every thing else, all other clamps.

I don't see you pulling the stiles into the rails.
Is there a caul there mounted to the ply?

Or are you just showing us the setup b4 you pull the sti.les into the rails?



Correct!
This was just showing the "extra and temporary" clamps used to insure that
the outer edges of the rails were on the same plane as the ends of the
rails.

During the actual glue up two more clamps sat under all of this on each end
directly under the rails. Once the rails were in their correct positions
the bottom clamps were tightened and then all of the clamps in the picture
were removed. Only the bottom clamps remained during dry time.
