This misalignment is normal and of no consequence, as long
as the lens is all the way threaded in infinity focus will
be fine. To assure dead top center for the lens markings
would require a very precise starting cut of the adapter
threads adjusted to a matching standard on the male threads
of all m42 lenses to bring them tight to the mount w/ the
aligner mark at top dead center. A bit of cosmetic overkill
when all that is necessary is a tight mounting.
