Fork dropouts not aligned

First, yes I did a search for this answer. Also, this is a steel fork on one of my Legnanos.

Basically, the dropouts are misaligned so one is either too far forward or too far back fore and aft and it makes it difficult to drop the wheel into place smoothly.

How do I tweak it so the dropouts are in alignment? I’m talking a few mm FWIW. Using leverage from a 2x4 seems sketchy and using a mallet more so.

Also, how do I know if one dropout is in the correct position fore and aft?

Shoutouts to gugie and bulgie may yield a correct answer but others may also have a good solution.

Thx y’all!
