I put a attic ladder up but the drywall around the attic door is not even with the frame. Some of it is even but some is not. How do I put a frame around the opening with uneven drywall?

Sounds like you need to remove the screws in the frame and adjust until flush with the ceiling.Easier with two people..one in the attic and one below to gauge the correct position of the frame. If all four corners are flush, then the ceiling must be wavy. Use the door frame as a screed for a drywall knife, and float the ceiling flat. Or shim as needed to hold the moulding in place, caulk the gaps, and live with it.
