So, it looks like the width is 104mm. I would contact the manufacturer (hopefully they have tech support that you can contact) and ask them if this is ok. It seems pretty sloppy to me. If there is no actual damage to the fork, maybe you can get them to replace it. When I get a carbon fork I check the dropout alignment immediately and measure the width. If there is a problem, this is the time to find it and get the fork replaced. Also, now you have a reference in case you suspect a problem later on, just as you have.
I have found the widths to be really close to 100mm (less than 1mm deviation on my three forks). Alignment and width should be precise and not change over time with a carbon fork.
