New steel Fork ,wheel sits off center ,what tolerance acceptable?

Thanks for the posts, popped off an email to the supplier to see what they think and said they would look into it but it sounds within tolerance. I can realign it by moving axle down a bit in open non threaded dropout and will look into building up the dropout with some jbweld maybe. This is literally the first time I have ever owned a bike/bike frame brand new as the first person to ride it , everything else I have is second or third hand and so I was not so sure what my expectations should be around alignment if I was being too perfectionist or if I should be trying to get it replaced.

Out of curiosity - how much bigger is the dropout non-threaded hole compared with the through bolt? (I may have incorrect term there, as I've never seen one )

Bought a Cannondale Synapse aluminium version and it was way out both front and rear … right pig's ear. Bought exact same bike again, but S/H, and both f and r were spot on.
