Once you've knit more rows, the fabric should draw in. That's how it always happens for me when I knit socks from the toe-up. The ribbing is being stretched by the needle(s).

Even then sometimes it stretches out wider - my purling is very loose. I always have to do the ribbing on needles two sizes smaller than the stockinette.

Or try K2 P2. It draws in even more than K1 P1. I don’t think you have knit enough K1 P1 for the drawing in effect to occur.

I've been using some yarn recently that has way more elasticity than normal sock yarn (it seems), so despite my measurements and what I got for gauge, I had to cast on way less stitches for the sock. It's definitely frustrating when gauge doesn't come easily, but know that the colors look great! Hmm . . .
