Default Degree of thrust

I was reading an article about an aircraft plan and it stated to allow for 3 degree right thrust when mounting the engine.
How is this done? Does it mean that I need to mount the engine 3 degrees to the left/right or does it mean that somehow I need to make the engine slant to the left/right by putting a shim behind the motor mount so that the engine points toward the right? I've never had to do any engine mounting where I had to worry about the "degree" thing. Thank you
