Default Exterior Door Weatherstripping Question

We have two exterior doors where the weatherstripping is attached to the
door frame. It's a tubular shape with a flat flange that fits into a
groove in the frame. It appears to be vinyl or a plastic of some sort.

The problem is, we are not getting a tight seal. In fact, at times we can
actually see light around the perimeter of the door in some areas.

What would be the best and/or easiest way to correct this problem?

BTW, the house (and doors) are only a little over a year old and show no
wear.

TIA
