That is almost normal. Try pushing the wire part of the levelwind traveler to the left (the wire is a press fit in the traveler and will kinda twist in the direction you want, no permanent change). Also try tieing off to a tree or bumper and walking all the line off the reel. Hold the line to the left with your thumb at the foregrip while reeling it back on. Since you only cast a part of the line, if the stuff underneath is good, the problem will be minimized. But don't worry, all my Abus pile a wee more on the right side and it's never been a problem.
The knurled knob on the right sideplate doesn't have an o-ring. If you use it to center the spool, it won't necessarily stay where you put it.
