I can’t tell if you need garage stop molding like others have said or if you need a tighter seal. There is a company called ThermoTrak, they have garage door tracks that force the doors to press against the frame to ensure a tight seal. Here are their tracks: https://thermotraks.com/select-size/. Your first step is the molding.

I was also going to mention this. I bought 2 kits from them for my two garage doors, I love them. When garage doors is fully closed, the wheels are on the concave part of the track which forces the door to close tighter against the wall. You got to adjust it so that when it's closed the garage door is like 1/8" from the wall. With the kit they also include a soft molding seal that goes on the exterior or the door sides and top. Lastly, you then install the normal homedepot weather strip molding on top of their rubber seal. This combo will be the best to seal your garage doors against pests such as mice and the weather. If you got attached garage. Then this will most likely help save money on energy on the longterm. Such as for me, my bedroom and another room is above the garage.
