I'm a perfectionist so I find this annoying. Reinstalled my Nvidia drivers , thinkered with the string for icons spacing , even did an sfc scannow command. Nothing fixes it. Also plugging or unplugging the monitor , changing icon size , monitor resolution. It's 2 k by the way. If i disselect the ucon grid and manually place them the issue is fixed. So the icon grid is off. I have the latest win11 update. Pls Microsoft, you are a trillion dollar company, add a simple tool where you can manually configure your icon grid by clicking and dragging on it visually on the screen. Or even better fix this esthetic problem.

Mine are tight to the left and about 16 pixels off of the right side, every machine. Just the nature of the beast, I suppose! 🤷‍♂️

Im typing this from my phone. I reported the issue using the guidance of co pilot and all the fixes I tried , I tried like 10 stuff including ready command prompts by copilot for deleting and regenerating strings and registries including for the windows explorer program which manages the interface. Hope Microsoft can figure out something, but this problem appears to be very rare and since its only cosmetic, but still , its quite annoying.
