So you know, it all can be on or very close to spec and still cause the issue you have. Sometimes it's actually better when the thru -axle is in place and all is tight. But a small variation between fork and hub width can cause some (acceptable) stiction, that may feel bad wrong in your hand, but be fine in the field.

I wouldn't sweat it for now, and analyze it when all is together and tight.
