Does this look right to you?

Just had my tires swapped but when the shop put it back together i noticed some friction on wheel spin on the front, after a visual inspection I found this:



Does that look right to you? did the shop put this together wrong?
Thanks!

Are you able to put the front wheel on a stand? If so, loosen all the bolts and nuts. From the axle to the brake caliper. Spin the wheel and apply the brakes hard. Repeat a couple of times. After the last, while holding the brake... start tightening the bolts. The wheel should free spin for days. That's my procedure and works like a charm every time

Looks the same as my 2015 European (UK) bike.

What about the other side?

And obvious question: what has been changed or disturbed since it was turning freely? Don't trust to luck if there's any stiffness in the bearings, because a stiff wheel bearing can sieze up quite suddenly.

Looks goofy, but that's how mine is. Funny that I hadn't noticed it before.

I concur with this. Give this a try and I bet it mostly (if not completely) clears up the issue.

If u know how to check the wheel bearing is it still in good condition and caliper line up with disc,try to use the car jack and jack up the front wheel,do it Like Isaac said..And use a 400 sand paper sand the axel and bearing wall if scratch...Clean and lub it
