Default Steering wheel is cocked to the left
When I'm driving straight, my steering wheel is turned to the left. Does anyone else have this problem. Or has anyone fixed that kind of issue. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Club Lexus!

Your alignment guy can center it. If it is more serious like the steering rack bushing and the rack is shifted, then you'll need to apply the appropriate fix and then get an alignment.

Happens all the time at alignment shops where they are not careful about how they use the device that is suppose to hold the steering wheel centered during the alignment process. The shop can easily correct it.
