AMS TBE Fitment Issue

Hey guys, some help would be appreciated. I searched and read threads about fitment but I think I have everything installed correctly. The test pipe was labeled "Bottom ----> Flow" I have the writing facing the ground and the flow going towards the muffler. My muffler is hanging to the passenger side really bad, I have the hanger pulled towards the drivers side otherwise it would be even closer to the passenger side. Also in one of the pictures I have a red circle, is this the heat shield people removed?

Is it supposed to be an angled exit? That's what it kind of looks like.

What about the heat shield? I know you said it doesn't need to be removed but right now it's resting on the bolt. I guess with the rotation of the test pipe it might move it back off the heat shield?

The exhaust should back off the heat shield a bit but we always remove this bracket when installing turbo back exhausts here to make sure that there is no contact when driving.

Rotated the test pipe with the "Bottom---->Flow" facing the car and the exhaust now sits in the middle perfectly. Just an FYI to anyone that gets the AMS I could check how the flanges meet up before installing even if it's labeled bottom it may not be correct.
