STI-R lenses and cutoff

Its been bothering me for awhile but i am not sure if it is normal.

I have the sti-r lenses installed and i do notice a sharper cutoff. The only thing that bothers me is the line has a slight angle on the driver's side. Is that normal? I suspect that it is either caused by the spacings of the lenses or how the head lights are mounted. I dont have a pic so i will illustrate the best i can.

So instead of a straight line, mine is like:

Is that normal?

They're like that on most projectors. The TSX projectors I used for an old retrofit project had the same thing. It's also for properly lining them up correctly when adjusting them
