Before I translated the wall to its current position, it stood up straight,
but after translating it, the wall is angling to the left at about 10
degrees.  how do I fix this problem?

Here's my code:

#include "colors.inc"

background {color rgb <.999,.999,.999>}

light_source {
 0*x
 color White
 area_light
 <8,0,0> <0,0,8>
 4, 4
 adaptive 0
 jitter
 translate <40,80,-40>
}

camera {
 location <0,0,15>
 look_at y*5
 angle 45
}

// Left Wall

box {
 <-1,-1,-1>, <1,1,1>
 texture{
  pigment{
   color rgb <1.0, .989567,0.9479>
  }
  normal{
   wrinkles 0.25
   scale 0.005
  }
  finish{
   ambient .266167
   diffuse .884867
  }
 }
 scale <0.1, 3.5, 1.5>
 translate <-5.638508,0.140896,0.0>
}

That's because your camera is at ground level (y=0) and looking up at
y=5.  Change it to look at <0,0,0>
or put it a < 0,5,15>.
