You know, I can't help but notice how suitable this issue is to the name of the plane

But as to the preference, it matters to the flight if the stab is non-parallel to the wing: elevator input will cause the plane to yaw a little.

As between the stab and the fuse, it doesn't really matter. But you might want to check the perpendicularity between the stab and the vertical fin. If it's not 90 deg, rudder input will cause a little pitch.

Sounds like you have fixed it the right way. Instruction usually tells you to fix the misalignment this way.
