To close this post out, I found out that the left fender:

1) Protruded outwards about 3/4" to an inch more than than the right
2) More than likely, the chrome piece became straight during the polishing process/re-chroming process
3) It was possible the gradually push the left fender in to the same point as the right side and still have about 3/4" clearance (same as the right) for the tire.
4)To install the trim piece to conform to the fender by gradually bending it to conform to the fender curvature by gradually tightening the bolts along it's entire length.

Thanks for all of your inputs and to Fred at Max Merritt.
