Kinesis Crosslight fork… hub spacing, dangerous?

Is this Kinesis Crosslight aluminum fork safe with this hub? The hub spacing is probably 100mm, it’s an old sealed cartridge bearing Suntour. There is a space between the the hub nuts and fork ends. Are these forks intended to be spaced to 110mm? Is 110mm spacing for 20mm thru axles only? I acquired someone’s botched together bike and many parts haven’t been assembled in a safe or sensible manner. Can I just safely force the fork ends to contact the hub with the skewer? Seems like it might be a bad idea considering the fork is aluminum. Can I space the hub to fit better? Would there be enough axle and skewer? Why do I keep finding front forks that are spaced much wider than the hub? Does this happen from people using trainers? Strange
