Steering wheel angled??

Was putting steering wheel back on after having odometer fixed, and while driving to ensure that steering wheel was in alignment, I noticed that something didn't look right...
The steering wheel appears to be "angled" horizontally to the left.

So I put a tape measure to top spokes of wheel and measured to blinker indicators on both sides of dashboard.
Sure enough...right side measures approx 6" and left side approx 5".

Surely I didn't "bend" the steering wheel during removal/replacement???
Or, does dashboard have slight angle? Doesn't appear to.

Note: While wheel was off, I tightened the four (8mm?) allen bolts on the "facing" that steering wheel lays on. Left side bolts were a little loose. Overtightening wouldn't change the "plane" would it???

Still scratchin my head....
Insight?
