The arm looks normal to me, though the user obviously hasn't centered the azimuth adjustment.
The first photo (when maximized on screen) clearly shows that the pin is adjusted to a position that's WAY anti-clockwise from vertical.
The threads on the adjusting screw are skewed in the same direction. It would be odd if they were otherwise. If the adjustment were changed to make the pin more nearly vertical, the threads would be more even (necessarily).
If this is really where the OP's setup needs to be for proper azimuth, which I doubt, the problem is with the cartridge, not the tonearm.

The antiskate tracks on the HiFi News LP are not tests you're trying to pass. They're SUPPOSED to create R channel distortion. Adjusting your rig to eliminate that distortion (if you could) would result in FAR too much AS and VTF.
The best use for that LP is as a Frisbee, preferably one that you throw once and never find again. Learn to adjust your rig by listening to the music you play, not with poorly designed test records that contain amplitudes your rig will rarely if ever experience with real music.
