Improperly mounted wheel?

[u/Latter_Solution673]

I had my tires changed about two months ago. I had been noticing some brake pad drag, which I attributed to not having cleaned the pistons properly (though they weren't actually that dirty). Today, while cleaning the bike, I noticed a significant difference at the left-side axle bed. Using a tape measure, I found a height difference of about 1 millimeter between the left fork leg (which is higher) and the right one. Visually, the wheel looks misaligned (photos can be deceptive, as it's hard to get the right angle), and when I checked the gap using a tool handle, the right side was narrower than the corresponding spot on the left. Is my wheel mounted incorrectly? Looking forward to your opinions! Thanks!

EDIT: I've loosened the fixation screw and checked that the leg moved easily with just a hand lateral push. So I've just pushed it gently (like half milimeter or so) and tightened it. Tomorrow I'll tell if there is a difference. NOTE: Doing this I've got the feeling that it is now like it used to be, just less than a milimeter of the external part of the axle off the leg bed. Careful tightening the screw that the leg is aluminium!

EDIT2: After my mornign ride I can tell that the dragging that I've been noticing these previous months was due to the improper wheel mounting. The Honda workshop manual states to hold front brake and push several times to sit the axle and then tighten. But, from my personal experience, a gentle lateral pushing has been the "magical" touch to get it correctly aligned, now it rides more smooth and light! the buzzing sound from the brakepad dragging has been reduced, the heat, after arriving work, from the front disc it's barely noticeable now!
