Left crank sticks out.

I just finally put a track crankset on and the left side crank sticks out a whole lot further than the right one. It looks like it is all the way on the bottom bracket so I don't know how I can make it even. Is this normal or something that I need to get checked out?

What type of bottom bracket? Some are offset on the non drive side.

I have no idea. Probably to match some adjustable BB made 50 years ago.
