Poor quality control crooked driver

https://photos.app.goo.gl/dUEtMe39Sj3dnyh46 I have a mild OCD/quality control issue with my Klipsch R610f. The driver is not dead centered inside its beauty ring. Its sitting to the very left and bottom.
While very marginal and most people won’t notice it. But of course its bothering me....🤦🤦

My question is could this cause issues down the road?, should I just let go, or start a return? (bought them a week ago as a 5.1 bundle) All the other speakers sit perfectly centered around there rings. Thanks in advance

It's obvious you should return them. If it's bothering you now it will still be bothering you next week, next year, etc. and when the warranty runs out. Be honest with yourself, if its bothering you will any amount of "don't worry about it" from any one is not gonna change how you feel.

It's not bothering me that much as it's not noticeable once you're a foot or further away. It's just the whole quality thing like I said these are not some off-the-shelf Walmart product. If a Adorama wants to knock $50 off I can roll with that, if they're rude or anything about my issue, yeah I'll send it back. I'll update you guys once I reach out to them on Monday.

No.

should I just let go, or start a return?


There is a really important reason why you should not do that:  There is no guarantee the next speaker will be better, or won't have other QC problems, like broken drivers, crossovers or cabinetry.  If the speaker is performing well I'd leave it alone. :)
