Default Cam bearing not installed square

Hi Guys, been cleaning the rough edges on my ls3 block prior to build, it came with new cam bearings installed, however i noticed that the bearing nearest the front of the block is not entirely square with its hole, i have placed a cam in there and it spins free enough, and the oil way is in the right place. Should i try and square it up or leave it alone?

I would install it right. Better now then when something breaks. I remember something about losing oil pressure when a cam bearing starts to go out? Could take out your engine if it happens to wear weird and you lose pressure..
