The left and right margins/indents are correctly displayed. I expect that the text should get aligned to these. But, it is shifted towards right.
The file uses "mirror margin." The text on alternate pages are aligned correctly.
Actually, the horizontal ruler is fixed at its place. It should move left and right on alternate pages. This is not happening. Which setting is incorrect?

In the Feedback Portal they will sometimes acknowledge it and give a link to a page describing changes.
Do not expect them to contact you directly and often nothing is posted which does not have any meaning as far as whether or not something was fixed as far as I know.

2023-10-09T18:08:11+00:00 As far as I know, they take all feedback seriously.
However you may want to post on the public Feedback Portal and put a link back here.
That way, others who see this thread can vote and comment.
Word Feedback Portal - public where others can vote.
I would recommend a title something like "Ruler doesn't show margins correctly with Mirror Margins."
