Clamping the wheel in place. There doesn't seem to be an 'adjustment' to 'Center the wheel'. Yes/No? Something I'm missing ?

The dropouts and the hub axles do not have a perfect fit to the thru axle, so if you want the wheel to end up in the same spot every time you need to brace the wheel in some direction or another - just like a QR wheel.

Back off the thru axle sometime and grab the wheel near the fork crown - you'll note the wheel can rock laterally a degree or two. This is enough to affect the brake caliper centering on the disc.[/QUOTE]

Something similar was suggested by SierraRider. Going to give it a shot.
