Default Karnage HD rear BPEs

I bought these off ebay:

The driver's side fits perfectly. The passenger side fits at kind of an angle, see photo. They are laser cut so hard to imagine a hole was drilled in the wrong place, although it doesn't fit as snugly into the cross member shock depression as the driver's side.

I emailed the vendor, no reply yet.

I know their regular (with bar pin) brackets fit parallel to the frame rails.

My question is: any possible issues from having the upper shock bushing rotated slightly like this? Anyone else using this version of their BPEs?

Just got a reply via email (I'd tried fleabay msg first) - that it is by design to clear the exhaust routing and he'd not seen any issues with the slight rotation of the mount.

I spent $22 on my rc rear BPEs and they work great! Don't rotate the mount and are pretty heavy duty
