There is a way, and I'm betting it's fairly simple, but I don't know what it is. The fact that they get further away is a little odd to me, but maybe that's normal.
My props were mis-matched (inappropriately) and I was working that issue when our service manager helped me out by adjusting the throttle throw on one side. Now that the props are correct, the throttles are mis-matched.

First:
Do both engines turn rated RPM at WOT and do both turn the same RPM?
Can't do more without that data.

Engines run fine both turn 5000 rpm WOT, the throttles levers seem to aligned only at idle, then they progressively get further apart as you accelerate.
do you adjust at the engine or at the controls?
