Throttles seem to be a bit out of sync

So we took our 2019 212 Limited S out for a second time today. It seems that the throttles on the dual engines are a bit out of sync. The (right) starboard throttle and engine seems to run at higher RPM’s. The left throttle or port side throttle handle seems to be able 1/4 inch off (lower) and also seems to fall back a bit and will not stay side by side to the other throttle handle. I have to constantly adjust them while driving in order to avoid pushing or pulling. For now, I am compensating but it’s. It right.

I am pretty confident it’s just a simple cable adjustment as the engines are in unison at idle speed and when running in no wake mode around 2,350RPM.

Anything I can try on my own or wait until the end of the season and have the dealer adjust them prior to winter storage? Also? The steering sometimes pulls or feels a little heavy when under way. The steering wheel, jets and articulating keel turn and move freely while at rest. I am wondering if it’s from the throttle imbalance or perhaps windy days on the water? What’s normal feel like on these dual engine jet boats?

Thanks guys!
 
Mine is the same, 2019 212LS at full throttle I have about 3-400rpm difference
