Handle bar slightly off, points to the left

I noticed it today, the handle bar is slightly off when the front tire is straight. Not sure if I can take the front apart and adjust the handle bar? When the tire is straight the handle bar points to the left. Pics attached

Thanks

It's tight but can't get it to move..I have the front nose off but can't figure out how to pull the cover around the headlight. Got most of the screws off but don't want to break it by just pulling on it.

I just hold the bars and give a little kick on the wheel. Not enough to bend the wheel but it will move enough usually to go straight.

Tabs hold the two plastics together. Took me awhile to get them apart my first time. Very very gently used a screw driver to get it started.

Got the rear handlebar cover off and the stem nut is on tight as heck, might need to air gun it loose.

I point slightly to the right.. its the curve that is the problem.

I hold the tire between my knees and twist the handlebars, no need for tools, done dozens this way, takes 20 seconds. If you are unsure of yourself, have a friend hold the tire and you twist the handlebars.
