Front wheel not centered in fork

While switching to a new set of wheels, I noticed my front wheel is a bit off center. The rim is about 2 mm closer to the left blade of the fork. Checked if it wasn't a wheel issue by flipping the wheel and also tested with another wheel. In every case, it sits closer to one side. Made sure the wheel is properly seated in the dropouts too.

So at this point my guess is that either my fork is asymmetric, or my dropouts aren't perfectly parallel in one way or another. Since it's an all carbon fork with carbon dropouts, I'm figuring there isn't much I can do myself.

So what can be done at that point? Ride it like it's no big deal or have the LBS work in some way on the dropouts?
