Turning the wheel-axle-lever pulls the brake disc towards brake pad ? Help needed (lemmy.world)

I'm having this issue on my front wheel, where the lever on my wheel's axle, that locks it in place will pull the entire wheel (and thus the brake disc) so far to the side, that the brake disc hits the brake pad, even when the brake pad is at the most far position. How can I prevent my wheel from going to far to one side when turning the locking lever?

Just to clarify, every time I mention "lever" in this post/comments, I'm talking about the quick release lever on the wheel that finally tightens the axle. So no, I don't think I have any issues with any cables right now

Ah OK, sorry, my mistake. I thought you were referring to the brake lever!

No worries, I'm not an expert so I don't know all the right terminology which makes this all quite messy haha
