If your trailer is brand new and recently purchased ideally you would return to the dealer to have the ramp corrected. The amount of misalignment you describe seems excessive for a brand new trailer. If the trailer is parked on uneven ground the ramp may tend to lean to the low side; this happens just from the weight of the ramp twisting the hinge. If the ramp leans over even on flat ground then there may be damage to the hinges that secure it to the trailer structure or the ramp itself may be uneven.
We do offer a replacement steel ramp hinge # PLR1902 that installs by welding. Usually several of these will be used to spread the weight of the ramp over more points.
From your photo I cannot see enough of the ramp and trailer to say what the cause for the misalignment might be.
