The triangle (AIS) is just right of the radar target (blue target).
I can't tell from the pic, but do you have your gps compass set to true instead of magnetic? If it is set to true, that will do what you are seeing. I had to switch everything to mag and now they are pretty close. There is also an alignment procedure for the radar return to the chart. Either one could be the cause. If trying to align the radar to the chart, do not use buoy's, use the land mass to check.
When doing the radar alignment it is a bit of a trade off to get it right, it may still be slightly off. Most of my returns are like a close shadow.

Also:
1. From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select Menu >Radar Setup > Installation > Front of Boat.
2. Select Up or Down to adjust the offset.
I believe that is the degree or offset adjustment.
