Aligning fork arms?

So I received the new little kids Motobecane today and did a "dry" assembly to see what's up. seems like one fork arm is slightly bent (straighter) so the dropout on one side is 1/8" higher than the other side. Setting the axle all the way in makes for a very off center wheel. Any tips to bending it to match the other one? (the dropout was also bent on that side- already fixed)

No kinks on the arm and they both look good at the crown.

All I've come up with is making a jig off the other arm- if there's an easier way to do it, I'm all ears.
