technics 1200g tonearm question headshell angled not parallel to lp


I am using a Ortofon aftermarket headshell and when looking at it it appears to be angled and not parallel to the surface of the record.  It does not have azimuth adjustment but still is this normal for the tonearm to agle the headshell slightly without adjustment.  I have not had a S shaped tonearm and was wondering if it is defective.  Any thoughts?

I know I can get an azimuth adjustable headshell.  i just thought the tonearm would accommodate a a non adjustable headshell much better than this.  thats why I thought it may be defective.
I am not judging azimuth.  I am wondering if the tonearm should just naturally list inwards?  seems bizzarre.
