Default Torque Arm and Driveshaft Alignment??

So, I was laying on the creeper just checking everything over before I make the maiden voyage to the track this weekend and I noticed something. Looking from the back of the car forward it seems that the torque arm is not straight compared to the drive shaft. There is about 1 1/2" between the TA and DS in back and about 1" up by the tunnel mount. Anyone ever notice this? I have a Moser 12-bolt and the Spohn tunnel mount TA. Everything is new and I just installed.

So my question is, is this normal?

Thanks,
Brian
