Rear wheel not all the way back in dropout

Bought this beater bike at a garage sale (I should really stop doing that). Needed quite a bit of work. The only problem remaining is that the rear wheel hits the frame if I set it all the way back in the dropouts. When I align the wheel straight it is forward in the left dropout as pictured. I’ve ridden it a bit around the neighborhood and it seems to hold as is, even jumped a few curbs on purpose w/o problems.


Pretty sure it’s not the wheel, seems true. I’m thinking it’s the frame. So do you’all think the wheel will hold as is? Or am I just asking for trouble? Bike rides really smooth BTW.

Thank you
