Tonearm relative to Plinth alignment

I have a Linn Basik turntable with a Linn Basik Plus tonearm (bought separately), and when the tonearm is in its arm rest it is not completely parallel with the side of the turntable. It appears to be a few degrees on its way to the platter. There are 3 holes in the table for the screws to the base of the tonearm, and they must be rotated a little bit.

Will this affect the sound of the turntable?

Thanks,
Dusty

No, there are 3 set screws so when they are screwed in, even loosely, you can't rotate it. Here is a picture so you can see:

There would be no way to get it straight short of drilling new holes, so I was wondering if having it start at a few degrees rotation would affect the sound.
