What's your camber settings, which tire, which chassis,
I’m not sure of the camber settings my gauges are being shipped. But I’m running a 2013 surge. It’s the front right tire
That would make sense as I am not sure of my camber settings. I just left it the way it was when I bought it. Thank you

Just from this statement im going to say its from sliding the RF therefore causing premature wear. A tire that slides wears out quicker than 1 in which is biting or "in the race track".
Now if i ignored that statement, id have to know all the numbers for consideration of the problem.

IT could be something as simple as not enough rear stagger as well.
Is the car tight (center off)? Then you would have the front wheels turned left much of the time and be building heat and wearing the inside edge harder.
Your numbers might be a bit high on left and cross for a 1/10 track, but there's more to it than just the total length of the track.
I'd look at RF camber and rear stagger as the culprit first.
Could be tires prepared incorrectly too, we just don't know. You say that the tire is wearing, but it's not soft enough. You are aware that a softer tire will wear even quicker -- that will only amplify your problem if the car is not set up correctly for the track.

9 out of 10 times, we find a heavily worn tire wasn't getting into the track and sliding, causing the fast wear. Look at how the wear is occurring, is it rolling the rubber off? Is the tire very hot when you come off the track?
