If the gun is actually tight on face, the locking surface(s) are engaging properly,,don't get too hung up on the lever position left of center.
It, like the church bell ring of the barrels hanging from your index finger,,they are great audience pleasers and sales tools.
But the lever isn't a dial indicator and the 6'0'clock and forward position does not carry some evil N0-G0 condition with it.
It obviously can show you wear over time,,but you must know where the thing started from to begin with.
If it really bothers you and the lock up is tight,,you can do as one large restoration shop did quite often.
Take the lever out,,heat it and bend it to the right a few degrees from the spindle.
Reblue or color it and put it back in.
Nothings changed inside,,still locks up the same. But everyone is happy the gun must be OK,,cause the 'lever is to the right'.
