Here is the photo - taken just to the right of the listening chair.

Just backing what others have already said, you need to play with room treatments. The left being so close, right 100% open...
I'd experiment with diffusion and or absorption behind the left speaker.
Try more toe in and spread the speakers a little out. The left speaker rear energy needs to be diffused - so let it fire more into the corner. set the right to match. The right speaker doesn't have that rear energy so you might need a slight balance adjustment.

Toe them in so they point in front of my head?
I'll move them further out - I often do that when "really" listening anyway.
Yes, I have my tweeters in and the MMG's angle 45 degrees while their positions and I are roughly equilateral. There is an off axis listening benefit to this - the two side seats benefit from not needing a center channel for TV listening.
A secondary benefit is I find the MMG's a little too bright on axis - I use to use a more flat (geometrically) tweeters out layout and I had to roll of the high frequencies above 5kHz a bit.Nice thing is Maggies are not too hard to move about.
Oh and you see one of my two subs on the floor below bottom right corner of the picture. The second sub is on the other side wall. Both are at the "dipole null" - on the side wall where the edge of the panel points - this seems to work very well for an excellent integration.

You have too much of a dissimilarity between the two channel's loading by the front wall vs. opening. And the speakers are placed too close to the front walls. But it looks like you have plenty of space to the sidewalls so you might want to swap to tweeters out.
So i would suggest pulling the speakers well away from the front wall (5 ft or more) and place a tall real or fake plant behind each speaker to diffuse the backwave.
Try tweeters out at the pulled out position, and consider an additional tall plant to diffuse the window reflections at the 1st reflections point. When positioning with toe in try to aim the dipole null at the window first and then adjust toe in to see if it is beneficial or not.
