If it just a bit off, then the plugin "Freehand raster georeferencer"
can be quick to shift it, otherwise use georeferencer from core (Layer -
georeferencer), which is especially more flexible and the right tool if
you have GCPs that you can use.
Be careful, sometimes crashes can occur with certain transformation
types, so better save beforehand (autoSaver and MemoryLayerSaver are
your friends).

Sound like UTM (good, metric CRS), though WGS84 might be geographic CRS
(worse, pixel size undefined/different in x,y).
