At this point… I think I give up… it shouldn’t have to be so hard to get a wheel center vertically.

Regarding inner side contact, playing with the fork again just now, without the skewer and without the axle locknuts even touching the inner blade, I can see the wheel slightly tilted/slanted vertically. If I Center the wheel manually by hand, I can clearly see/feel one side of the dropouts leave the wheel axle and not touching anymore. At this point, this is the only way I can get the wheel to center properly which basically means one dropout is held by the force of the QR nut instead of it sitting in the dropout.

after two trips to my local bike shop and hours of trying different skewers and wheels… I will just wait for the 3rd fork.

I sent few photos to my friend who also owns carbon bikes from other brand and he said the moulding looks like crap as well. His bikes look almost perfect in that dropout area. I know the moulding tolerance is just cosmetic but cosmetic issue like that is an indicative of quality which there is no guarantee that the dropouts are going to be perfectly aligned.
