No, it's not crooked on its rotational axis. But rather, it's closer to the dash on the left side to the tune of 3/4". I'm not quite sure how I missed this over the past 2+ years, but I sat in the car today and, whoa, felt weird. I removed it and slipped it back over the splines and tightened the nut down just because. Obviously you can't cock it on the shaft to this extent. No accidents, hits, etc. I grab the wheel and wiggle, very solid in every direction. I don't know how this can even happen. Thoughts?

Lastly, you might not believe it (because they do a pretty good job of hiding it nowadays) but I’ll bet if you go look at the steering wheel of your daily driver it’s offset as well. I just looked at my 2017 Traverse...not centered. Looked at the 2018 Elantra...not centered.
