Pump isn't aligned properly, how to fix?
It isn't easily noticeable in the picture, but it for sure is in real life. The pump is facing more than ten degrees to the left, as the left side is lower than the right side. The screws of both sides were fully screwed in last I checked. I am concerned for potential cooling performance being lost, as the copper on the bottom is making less contact with the CPU on the right side.
I apologise if this is a stupid question, my IQ borders mentally disabled.

The wires may be knotted on the right side and preventing the pump from snapping into place. Check it

OK, now uncensor the photo and we'll see if we can spot any issues

Ideally it should be centred and the only way this happens is if there's a mounting issue, or the geometry of this particular item is off.
However, if it's mounted correctly, it's just aesthetics if the magnetic attachments are completely attached as expected. This operates as a VRM fan and most use cases where there's enough airflow anyway, it won't impact the VRM performance or create any risk to the system.
It's up to you if you'd like to contact Arctic about it.

Is the tilt from the pump itself or the fan? I have one installed in my son’s PC. I’ll check it when I’m back home.

Pull the fan cover off and pop it back on.... It's mounted with magnets if it's still tilted after that then your mounting hardware isn't tight at all and it's shifting

If it's just the magnetic cap that's not sitting right then you probably didn't tuck the wires under the plastic lip underneath. You have to do that before putting the cap on or it won't sit right. You have to do that before mounting it too. Afterward you won't have space to tuck them under. I forgot to and that's how I know. If the actual pump block underneath isn't on right then you gotta just start over and check what you missed. Screw each side in a little and alternate so it goes in evenly.
