I will say when they aligned your car they didnt make sure the steering was straight when they started. i would take it back and tell them.

It is normal to have your wheel slightly towards the right. This is normal. As long as the car drives straight and it doesn't pull to either side then you're fine.

I know exactly which part of your alignment. Tell them it's the toe. You see, if your toe gets misaligned, this would mean that one of your wheels is slightly pointed inward. When the car drives forward, the wheel corrects itself, thus pulling your steering wheel to the right or left. Hope that helps.
