Narrative:
On taxi in to gate we stopped in alley awaiting green lights. When green lights were steady, we proceeded to terminal after power applied for minimum power taxi. Aircraft was slightly right of centerline panel. Red light came on and aircraft stopped short of the stp panel bar. Informed by ground crew that the reason for stopping short was that jetbridge hit aircraft on left side.
