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.

Dear @rushfan71 : Yes, you need to align the cantilever not the cartridge body. I won the Kleos and it's a really good quality performer but not only Lyra but almost any other cartridge is not " perfect ", it's way dificult to find out a cartridge with dead centered cantilever and dead centered stylus in that cantilever.

The best advice for you in what you are exoperienced with is the Lyra designer J.Carr put in contact with him and see what he think about.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
