Loosen the mounting screw for the arm (I’d adjust the one on your drive side fork blade). Put an open end wrench on the flats of the rust colored piece between the arm and the mounting screw. Turn it a little (the tension spring is inside) and then re-tighten the mounting screw while holding the wrench in position. It might take a few tries to get the tension even on both sides, but once you do, the cam will center and both arms will look the same.
