I haven't seen every Grizzly grinder ever produced but I suspect they are all pretty much like that at first. Mine was manufactured over 20 years ago and it was like that. There is a reason why some grinders cost $2,000 and the Griz doesn't. Don't sweat it, just do what needs doing to fix it up.
First, the platen needs to line up with the drive wheel, more or less, but the idler wheel does not. In fact, my idler wheel was usually about half out of line with the platen and tilted at a fairly extreme angle. That's what it took to make it track. That's OK, the work gets done on the platen and sometimes on the wheel and that's what is important.
If you need to move the platen over, as I had to do, just get a handful of washers from the hardware store and put them under the screws that hold on the platen. It may take a few days but you'll get the bugs out ....
