I should’ve looked at this closer before I took it off but when I reinstalled my rear wheel I don’t know if this thru axle looks correct cause it seems like it’s not all the way threaded in there. Am I supposed to tighten this down until it’s fully threaded or the side with the handle is fully inserted and flush? It’s already pretty tight and it looks like there’s a long way to go before it’s in there entirely
BTW this is a Trek Domane SL5 gen 4

Yes, it should be flush on both sides. You shouldn’t have to force it though. You may have started to cross thread it if it is tight that early on into the threads. Take the axle & wheel out and clean the threads on the axle and in the frame, then try again

Oof, hope it’s not cross threaded.
