After a mid ride coffee stop, while jumping on bike for a few more kms until home I realized my CP0048 cockpit was not fully aligned.
I immediately stopped riding to understand the issue and found out how playable it was (Google Photos video link):
– I cannot fully align it again, it stays ~2-5º to the right
– It plays ~10-15º to the right only
– There's no play when breaking and pushing it forward
My LBS only opens on Jan 5th, so I'm reaching out to you to understand if this is fixable at home or if you had any kind of play and experience with this issue (or a similar one). I don't want to mess it more then it is.
Also attached some photos showing no gaps on fork or spacers.
Thanks in advance

Did you assemble the bike yourself? It comes woth a torque wrench, right?
If it was my bike, I’d loosen everything up in the headset, then tighten it all back up to the recommended torque spec. I’m pretty comfortable as a mechanic though-if you are not, you may have to wait.
Definitely sounds loose, as mentioned above, loosen and retorque the two bolts while aligned.
