From the OP's album:

The inside has a similar profile to the outside.
So, it is quite possible that the issue could be on either side of the hub and locknut or the skewer.
As I mentioned, sitting the fork on the hub without the skewer will give a better view of how well the axle is seating in the notch.
If this was sold as a bare frame, then the buyer has to find hubs to match the frame.
On the other hand, if it was sold as a complete bike, then the manufacturer must ascertain that all the parts work well together.
Nonetheless, the bike should have at least a little tolerance for parts variation.
Could hubs with end caps work better? I'd rather a smooth surface interacting with the CF dropouts anyway.
