Yes, different number of shims could cause that.

One test you can do is to park on a flat paved surface. Use a large carpenters square and see if your wheels are square to the pavement. Because of the tire bulge at the bottom (with the weight of the vehicle) you might want to measure from the rim lip, top and bottom. If they are even, then it's square to the ground. It's hard to tell but it looks like the pass side one has some negative camber compared to the driver side.

Hope that helps.
