I think the whole lcd board moved, which would explain why it is at an angle... this is something you can bring in and have them get a headache over.

It is very hard for the LCD board to move, but there might be a slight chance the gauge face slipped out of place. It has a couple of alignment holes to keep it straight.

If you're going to get a replacement, you are better off getting aftermarket gauges while the entire console is out of the car.
