All parts are new, compatible, and properly installed. I've come across an issue. When I rotate the sprocket, the teeth should align perfectly. However, I've noticed that where the crankarm is screwed in, it appears to be pushed slightly inward, causing a misalignment of the sprocket teeth. It seems almost as if it's bent.

Looks like crank is pressing on the chain guard and bending everything? Put a little spacer between those?
Is that the varanyak v2 frame and fiend cranks?
I would put spacers on the crankshaft to prevent the crank from coming too close to the frame, and I would place a spacer between the chainring and the crankshaft because it seems like one is missing, which I believe is causing the chainring to rotate unevenly.
Don’t tighten the sprocket bolt all the way first you tighten your cranks and then lastly you tighten the sprocket bolt
Back everything out, you need a spacer for sure and also as someone else said, you need to tighten the cranks first and the sprocket last. You should be lined up before tightening, use spacer mate.
Riding with this type of flaw only builds character.
