There are a couple things that could be happening here.
First off, the bridge being slightly not straight is perfectly normal. It's supposed to sort of slightly lean towards the tailpiece. As far as pegs go, a couple things could be happening here. It could be you aren't pushing it in far enough, or it could be the pegs aren't perfectly fitted. They make a compound that may be able to solve your problem (and it's pretty cheap):

The other problem could be that the peg isn't well fitted. This will cost some money to fix, but it's on the cheaper side.
Did you buy the instrument from a luthier? If so, it should be their responsibility for good setup. Google says Sandner is a fine intermediate level violin, so it is unlikely (IMO) that it is a structural problem with the instrument.
