I installed a new toilet and it looks lopsided. I did remove the old
wax ring with a putty knife.. I then put new johnny bolts and layed
the new wax ring. The bathroom floor is leveled. When I look at this
toilet it looks lopsided.. I want to fix this, Could it be that the
wax ring is a wrong size? and is hitting the johnny bolt?? I really
want to fix this any help would be great.. Again the floor is leveled
and my old toilet did not look lopsided

You said the floor is level but is that your eyeball telling you that or is
it what your level is telling you?

Generally speaking, the top of the bowl is parallel with the bottom of the
bowl so if the floor is level and the base of the bowl is sitting on the
floor then the top would have to be level.

You should be able to see really quick if the bottom of the bowl is not
flush against the floor.

Wax rings are cheap, so if you really want to get to the bottom of this
mystery of yours pull the toilet and check the floor for level. If that is
OK then without the wax ring installed set the toilet in place. (Taking the
tank off the bowl will make things much easier.) then check it for level.

Next if those tests are OK then reset the bowl on a new wax ring and recheck
for level.

If it passes that test then set the tank on the bowl and check that for
level.

Last step would be to put the lid on the tank and check that.
