The spokes are evenly tensioned on each side, there's just a huge disparity between drive side and non drive. I've been scratching my head trying to work out how it's happened as they're factory built. I just can't get my head round why it's so difficult to get it dished.

It's a product of the geometry of the hub, the rim and the spoke pattern and you're stuck with it with no solution (that I know of anyway)
You would think the manufacturer would introduce some asymmetry to the rim, or increase the pcd of the hub ds to combat the tension balance, but apparently they haven't and instead build them dished off centre.

It isn't what you want to hear, but if it was me, I wouldn't ride that wheel full stop. Even if the spokes weren't pulling through, with the tensions that out of whack, you're likely to start fatiguing and snapping the spokes in no time.
