Skewed cantilever - Opinions?

Just received a new AT ART-9 cartridge. The cantilever is skewed slightly to the right. Did my best taking a couple of photos. So here's the query: Is this an acceptable amount of deviation for a new cart? Just align to the cantilever rather than the cartridge body when setting it up and go for it? Or, send it back to the seller for an exchange/refund? Many Thanks!

I think my question would be how do you visually align to the cantilever?  It's hard enough to do that using all of the visual aids, grids, mirrors and what have you that the various 'tractors have, assuming that the cantilever is parallel to the sides of the body.  Of course, if you do the final tweaking by ear, then maybe that's not a problem.
