Default Rear shock angle bracket question

Since I broke 2 bolts on both sides of the upper shock and have the bar pin eliminators I thought it would be easier to just angle the bracket a little bit and drill a new hole. Question is will this be a weird angle on the shocks, and do you think I will have any problems? Had a drill and brand new metal bits so didn't feel like getting out the air hammer...

In the pic it might be hard to see but I made the hole maybe a 1/2 inch towards the center of the vehicle (new hole is on the left)

you might wear out that bushing a bit prematurely but you wont have any serious issues.
