I’ve not seen left handed either.
GM had this wheel bearing adjustment figured out, you for sure don’t want it torqued tight, and they accounted for all possibilities and you can back it of as specified without backing it off to far.

I’m guessing two holes in spindle as Jerry suggests, second one probably full of grease.

If still looking for more possibilities check washer thickness and try another more or less if you have one, same idea as different castle nut.
