Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment


I have a couple month old Lyra Kleos and being new to this level of cartridge I’m looking for opinions.
When I received it I aligned it with a microscope and a Mint LP protractor. While aligning the cantilever I noticed that it doesn’t come straight out of the hole in the body, it is on an angle off to the side.
Its been on my mind and I wanted to reach out to the forum before I called the dealer.
This cartridge was expensive and I want to get the most out of it.

when buying a new cartridge the manufacturer's alignment is the first thing I check before paying; if it is not aligned I do not purchase and the shopkeeper by mutual agreement sends it back to the supplier.

Of course, Mr. Alasdair has been the manager of the company for several years and personally responds to all emails requesting help or information.
