I just noticed that one side of my fairing is closer to the running lights. I can get my hand behind the left side,but the right is really tight. I removed the outer fairing,and re installed. All the bolts line up perfect,but it is still closer on one side. It might be a dumb question,but damn if I ever noticed this before.

My guess is the running light frame is bent!

Even with the screws started in all locations if you tighten one side all the way down then the other side you can pull it to one side.
