Some times with cowls that are "open" in the front like a YAK..
Theres not much you can do.

The right thrust is going to move the motor over to the right aout 1/4 inch.

Let me ask you, when you mounted your motor did you accomidate for right thrust?
Most of the time you want to move the motor about 1/4" over to the right (of the center line) to make the motor shaft actually position itself in the center of the cowl. (this accomidates for the right thrust of the motor.)

If it came pre-mounted than it will just be off a bit.

Good luck.
