[TowerTalk] TX-455 tiltover fixture question

I have a TX-455 installed with the tiltover fixture. After raising into position I have noticed that the tiltover fixture  is tilting sideways about 2 inches.( I know that the fixture is supposed to tilt AWAY from the tower.) The arms on both sides of the fixture are the same length so this doesn't account for it. This tilt is noticable if you stand opposite the fixture and look through the tower. I have e-mailed US tower with the question and have gotten no response so far. 

Is this a design feature so the leg will not land on the back pad flange? Or do I need to 'persuade' it to be straight up and down? If you have or have owned one  of these your input will be appreciated.
