Thru axle help

Is it the axle that is less than 12mm diameter or the drop out holes that are bigger ?
If the later, a new axle won't help.
Did you order spare dropouts with the frame, that you could swap ?

My calipers are a cheap digital set and I can't tell that there is a measurable difference - I can just feel it. I did get an extra set of dropouts and they are the same. It's not that big of an issue, especially in light of two new developments. Maybe I can get some more help with the new issues.
1) I ordered a set of wheels from Peter and specified thru axle for rear and QR for front. Front wheel came with thru axle hub. It's a DT Swiss 350 hub (15x100). Will something like this work to convert to 5x100 QR?

2) I am using a Shimano XT FC M-8000 chainring as 1x11 with XT cassette and derailleur. I ended up with a SRAM PC X1 11 speed chain. I have mixed Shimano and SRAM parts forever with no problems. However, the chain will not ride on that ring. Ideas? It's not the chainline.

Hey everyone... Im new here and also looking for some help with my rear thru axle. Im pretty much done building my first CCB... It's cs-496, a hardtail, with boost spacing. I bought a dt Swiss boost wheelset with an xd freehub and sram eagle 10-50t cassette. But when mounted, there is a gap along the axle on the non drive side(disc side) between the rotor and the left side dropout. Like the end cap doesn't protrude beyond the rotor much... I feel like there should be a spacer or different end cap or something there. Looks like everything should be over to the left. Does anyone have any idea of what the problem is?

If not, maybe did forget a shim somewhere(eg: between two cassette cogs, or a hub end-cap, a shim inside the freewheel, etc. ) ?
This is a good axle a lot here are using: https://r2-bike.com/DT-SWISS-Thru-Axle-RW-RWS-12x142-mm-E-Thru
You can order a couple of nuts M12x1.5 too in case you loose one: https://r2-bike.com/SHIFT-UP-Nut-M12-for-Shimano-E-Thru-Thru-Axle-12-x-142-mm

DT Swiss is making their own, although much more expensive: https://r2-bike.com/DT-SWISS-Conversion-Kit-FW-350-370-Disc-Brake-to-Quick-Release
The ZTTO gives me the impression the hub could have some lateral float on the axle.

An 11sp chain of any brand will work. The problem is probably elsewhere.
Is the chainring new ?
