I would first check to see if the disc rotation is parallel with the plane of the center of the bike. This probably isn't trivial but if you install the wheel in both orientations and check the disc alignment vs the fork stays then it should be possible to measure (assuming the frame is straight and has a symmetrical design). If that is not OK then the wheel probably isn't properly seated in the frame. If it is OK then the caliper must be bent or incorrectly installed. If it's a steel frame I would just bend the caliper mounts into position until the brake works correctly. If it's a aluminum or carbon frame I'd try to shim or file the mounting points to align things correctly.
V-brake levers had a different pull ratio than other rim brake and mechanical disc brake levers but I assume everything on the bike is original equipment so that shouldn't be the issue. If the brakes are hydraulic then obviously this is irrelevant.
