Extension Jamb on Door - Hinge Clearance

The carpenters who installed our exterior door aligned it to the exterior wall. It needs extension jambs inside.

I put on extensions yesterday, about 1-5/16" deep. The door will open 120 degrees or so but will then contact the trim. What is the proper way to address this?

There would probably be furniture behind the door to prevent springing it, but I'd like to know what is the proper arrangement.

Will swing-clear hinges work?

Thanks.
