Sorry that the pictures are kind of confusing, but you're looking at my rear wheel and the bike is upside down.
Picture 1: Bottom of chainstay, wheel is away from the drive side
Picture 2: Area of seat stay near rear brake caliper, I can't get the tip of my index finger in the gap on the right (drive side)
Picture 3: I can fully fit my finger in the gap at the left of the wheel (away from the drive side)
I noticed this same thing with the last wheel that I used, but that wheel was also out of true, so I thought that could be the problem. This wheel seems to be in true and seated properly, so does anyone have any idea what could be wrong here? Thanks
EDIT: I unscrewed the qr and fiddled around with the wheel a bit, then retightened it everything LOOKS fine. Hoping it was just a problem with how it was seated.

Is the quick release skewer correctly placed in the dropouts?
Turn the bike right way up. Loosen QR skewers, put a but of weight on it, and tighten up skewers. Wheel should centre.
