I answered elsewhere, but now that I have looked more closely at your pictures, the dropouts don't look aligned. If they are, then your pictures have some distortion.
I think VO should give you a new fork. You may have to take the fork off and take some better pictures -- maybe on a flat surface. I assume they put the dropouts in clocked, or sometimes they are just malformed.
