Default Engine Mounting-can someone explain thrust?

I am mounting a Magnum 46 in a Phoenix extra. The manual shows by diagram 1 degree down thrust and 5 degrees right thrust. Does this indicate to point the nose of the engine UP 1 degree and left 5 degrees to achieve this? This is only my second ARF build -- the other was a Sig 4 star -- and I didn't pay any attention to any thrust. The plane flew fine,maybe I lucked out, but I don't want to take a chance with the extra.
