Get better pictures of the spacer area and the spindle where it passes through the fork on both sides of the wheel. Are both discs equidistant from the fork slider? I suspect not.
Itmisnt a fault with either yoke, they play no part in centralisating the wheel in the forks.
I suspect there's something missing/incorrectly fitted on the left side of the wheel, in the second picture how much of the spindle is protruding through the fork slider on the left? From your picture it appears that it does, but it should be near enough flush - the whole wheel assembly is displaced to one side.
