Default Seagull Models PC-9 Engine Thrust Line Help

I just finished the PC-9 and it's ready for it's first flight. I was checking the forums to ready myself with it's flight characteristics and found two conflicting reviews.
The first review I found under RCU Forums. We all know about the cowl thrust line off on the front of the cowl but nothing about downward thrust on the motor.

The second review I found at RCU Review Products and the author shimmed the motor mount 2 degrees down thrust because of the front of the cowl.

Both reviews say the plane flies great.

Anyone that owns this plane knows the instructions are pretty lame and there surely is no mention of down thrust.

The aircraft should fly either way but which is correct?

Thanks,
Bob
