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 would not be happy with that cart.  Who knows if the coils are centered in the magnetic field?
Note:  The cantilever is always the reference for alignment, not the cart body.
