At first glance it looks like the derailleur hanger may be bent towards the wheel a bit.

that’s not the issue here, but you should also replace that nut holding the wheel axle quick relase. that is for a seatpost quick release, not for a wheel.

You’ll need a special tool to align the hanger *right*, but you might get it close enough to function better in a pinch without the tool.

Do you not have eye balls?
Way cheaper to buy a pair of new hanger https://derailleurhanger.com. Find it here, verify it looks like yours, add 2 to the cart.
Bent hanger. Step one buy a new hanger. Step two try to bend the old one back. If it breaks you have a backup.
