I just bought a 2017 Street Bob yesterday. Traded my Sportster in. The one on the Sportster sat flat on the ground.
When you put it in the down position all the way forward they stand moves back a bit with the weight of the bike.

The stand on my '08 Street Bob sits flat on the ground. It also appears to lock slightly forward so it is not perpendicular to the frame.
In your first picture, the kickstand appears to not be coming forward of being perpendicular to the frame.
Since your Street Bob is a '17, why not show it to the dealer?

...mine doesn't sit flat and never has. I changed the block and hardware when I replaced a weak spring a few years back and it still does not sit flat, but it has never failed me. My son's FXDLI looks even more off-center, but it is locked and solid as well. I have looked at many others over the years and this seems to be common with Dynas and no big deal...unless it messes with your OC
