One easy method you can try that might re-align is to loosen the left axle pinch bolts, then with the front brake applied pump the forks up and down several times. Move forward slightly and repeat. Tighten the pinch bolts.
Since the forks are tubes within tubes that can rotate, loosening at the triple tree will not transfer to the axle alignment. When you take the wheel off, you can still turn the forks at the bottom, even with the triple tight.
