If you zoom in you'll see the passenger side is higher by 1.537mmLooks Ok to me!
The right side of the liftgate is a bit lower when it’s closed. You can try to adjust the closing height by yourself but that’s a delicate job and the liftgate itself is very heavy. You should take the CX-5 back to the Mazda dealer and ask them to adjust the height under warranty ASAP as this type of warranty adjustments usually has only one year.The liftgate on my CX5 sits lower on one side (see how the taillights don’t line up). Is there a way to adjust the height of the liftgate like on other harchbacks? My GTI had a rubber stopper you could twist to adjust the way it sits when closed.

I've noticed on my '22 that there is a much larger gap between the right side of the lift gate and the bumper and panel above the taillight on that side than the gap on the left side. I've been creeping other CX5s and it seems to be a common issue. Although on some other CX5s it's the left side.
The right side is wide enough that I can fit most of my thumb into it, on the left side it's tighter and can't get much of my thumb in it. I bet it's a bugger to get it perfect.
Using your pic, here is where I am talking about.
Something else you may want to check out.
*Just noticed your dark badges...very nice!

Here's a quick side-by-side pic. Right side (passenger) has a larger gap than driver's.Much larger? We need actual pics of both sides to determine if it's out of spec.

Thank you! I used Hyperdip (dipyourcar.com's Plastidip product). Here is the full rear:Also, what did you use to tint the badges? Looks good.
I tried reseating the tail light (the two grey holes line up with the black ones on the light), and it's still the same haha. Oh well.If you want to try repositioning the outer taillight, it's easy to remove/replace. It's held in by two philips screws and a plastic guide rail on the outside.
It looks really tight!I tried reseating the tail light (the two grey holes line up with the black ones on the light), and it's still the same haha. Oh well.
