Default Scorpio Java 150

I'm new to the sport and building planes. I'm currently building a Scorpio Java 150 and I'm a bit puzzled by how the motor should be mounted. I've built up the cradle and when I insert the sp400 motor with it's gearbox in the cradle and place it in the fuse the motor pitches down slightly. The instructions show it pitched down and horizontal. I'm leaning toward pitching it down because the nose of the fuse is angled slightly and that mounting would put the prop on the same plane as the pitch in the nose. Can anyone offer guidance?
