Wheel not fitting

ive had a 700c wheelset lying around for a few years from and old road bike that the frame cracked and became useless. i think i tried selling them once or twice, but parts are a hard sell. so instead i figured id pick up a bike that was missing the wheels, slap in these and sell the full bike, which should be easier to sell. i picked up a trek hybrid the other day with 700c wheels, but when i went to put in my wheels just now, the back one doesnt align properly, its off center, and theres a lot of extra spacing between the hub and the dropouts. im guessing hubs/axles meant for road bikes and hybrids are different...? is there an easy way to get this to fit and align properly? perhaps washers to fill in the space?

thanks.



(in the pic i had tightened down the nut on the right, there was more space there initially.)
