Default S5 Sportback Steering Wheel Tilt slightly to left?

Does anyone have the same issue? I have 2018 S5 SB with about 6000 miles on it.
Car tracks straight but steering wheel is slightly tilt to left.
Originally thought was alignment issue, took the car to dealer. They did the alignment, everything's good, got the car back, problem is still there.
I'm not sure if that's me being picky, but I believe steering wheel is not properly centered. I have flat bottom steering wheel, so it's pretty easy to tell.
Just wanna see if anyone experienced the same before I send the car back to dealer again.
Thanks.

Thank you. Did you get a chance to fix steering wheel on your Golf R? If yes, how? Just remove and reinstall?

Some people had it fixed by removal and reinstall, but the steering wheel is mounted to a spline and some people found it impossible to get it centered as the next point over was tilted in the opposite direction.

I personally just ignore it, as it doesn't affect driving.

Got it.
It just bothers me whenever I look at my steering and it's not perfectly centered. lol

FYI I can tell from the pic it isnt centered. I know that doesnt help any, but will confirm that you are not crazy. I would ask my dealer to fix it.

Good to know I'm not alone. Did you have the chance to ask the store what's the cause?
