Default spacer issue please help guys !

installed some 20mm spacers at the rear 2 days ago.
found out left side sits further out than the right side (please refer to photo)

I've taken the spacers out and they both match.
I had my car checked with a couple of workshops to make sure that the S comes with a straight body. no accident record or anything before I made purchase...

does anyone know why this happens and how can I resolve this issue. The left rub a lot more than the right... and I'm sitting on the right hand side due to (RHD) cars. so the load is on the right side!

Wanted to roll my fenders yesterday but then the workshop said theres no point it wil still rub cuz the right is sitting too wide.

HELPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't remember where I heard it, but if I recall, the s2k id designed to track a little wider to the drivers side than the passenger side. 5mm or so if I remember right
