granted my rear wheel isnt centered here , but doesnt the right side of the bridge appear to be mounted above the left?

Brake bridges don't move without breaking the weld/braze where they attach to the stays. I see no evidence of this in your picture. It's likely that it just installed slightly crooked; it's easy to happen in a production environment, and only a cosmetic issue, not structural. If you really need to know, measure along the seat stay from the top of the dropout slot to the base of the bridge on each side.
