My receiver has a fair amount of slop, so I would never notice something like this. It would just center itself. Is it possible that your 2" opening is not totally square to the back of the truck? And by locking the receiver into the hitch you are forcing it to be at a bit of an angle? Or there could be a degree of error in the actual receiver shank/hitch attachment.
I've not heard of anyone having the L brackets at different heights side to side, might be interesting to shoot Equal-i-zer an email and ask, I'd be interested in their response.
I put a digital level on the receiver when the truck was level. Only a few tenths of a degree off. Not enough to cause the problem.
I also noticed that after a trip Ijust made, the street side L bracket still has some rust on the friction surface and the curb side is scrubbed clean with some scouring.
I believe that the curb side bar is doing the majority of the work.

My Equal-i-zer did the same. The hitch shaft in your receiver has some slop in it. It's just enough that it causes the head to rock a little.
As an anti rattle device, I drilled and tapped a 1/2” bolt through the bottom of the receiver/shank. I tighten the grade 8 bolt to about 90 FP. The shank is pulled down tight to the receiver and absolutely will not rock. It doesn’t matter which side I hook up first, the curb side is always lower
