Default AFCO install questions help

Okay so got my afco's the other day and an in the process of installing the rear shocks now. I just put in my moser 12 bolt as well. Well I got the shocks from madman and also the shock relocation brackets as well. There is clearance when I dry fit the bracket, but to me it looks that the shock is not perfectly level. It looks like there is a very slight angle. Is this normal? It's is very very slight. Will the shock wear out or get damaged? Thank you in advance. And yes I know this thread is use less without pics.

as long as the shock does not bind in the relocation bracket, you are golden. Slight angle is not a problem.

Be sure to not leave a bolt in the bracket or it will hit the shock. I would take an AFCO with you to the welder and use it to locate the mount...too low and it will bind.
