Possible Uneven Pool Deck

[Genie759]

Hi! We had an inground pool installed about 8 months ago and something has looked “off” from the beginning and we are beginning to realize that the entire deck may be at a slant. The “V” slope to the deck drain has bothered me from the start as the slope seems excessive, but as we’ve continued to look at it, it seems like the entire right side of the deck is higher than the left side. The yard does slope down from the house, so we thought it could just be an optical illusion from the fence, but if you look closely at where the deck sits to either side of the hot tub, it really does look like the right side is higher.
Are we just overthinking or does this look wrong? Would a pool inspection uncover something like this? Is there even anything we could do to fix it? I’ve also uploaded a pic of the slope away from the house and pool - does it look excessive?
Thanks so much!

The deck sloping towards drains make sense.

The deck should slope away from the pool and not send runoff water into the pool.

If the pavers are laid loose, they can be lifted up and the deck releveled.

If the pavers are cemented down then it becomes difficult.

I'm thinking it's all okay as both halves slope down to the drain and then you want all decking sloped away from the pool as stated. If it does then I don't see an issue. Maybe flood the decking to ensure the drain works and that no water flows into the pool.

I guess my bigger concern is that the ENTIRE deck is slanted. I understand that between the pool and the house it has to slope away from the pool and away from the house. But the right side of the deck/pool seems higher than the left side altogether.
