Mine is mis aligned as well, not quite that far off.
With the bolts in the bed and frame holes, there is not going to be more than 1/2” of play in any position.
The bed is narrower than the cab, probably to keep crap from taking the paint off from the front edges.
Bed was crooked on my 05 Ranger as well.
Bed is crooked on my 98 Chev and always has been.
Never had a pickup where the box was “Dead Nuts” in place.
But on the square Chevy pickups, it was very noticeable as the box and cab were shaped the same and with a sharp line in it midway.

My box is over to the passenger side about 3/8" of an inch more as well. When I look out the drivers rearview mirror, it looks like the back door is ajar. But the rear wheels seem to sit fine in the wheel wells. The front wheels are off in the fenders some. I think the cab is over to the left and the box is OK?
