Default engine angle on Hobbico Superstar trainer

Hi all

I purchased thistrainer in very good used condition used from a friend and noticed that the engine is installed slightly angled to the left (when viewed from behind the plane)
Hmmmm.....I have 2 issues with this...

Issue #1...The assembly manual states that the engine should not be angled, it should point straight ahead. However the engine mount has a spacer behind it which causes the engine to point slightly left.
Issue #2...to counteract engine torque during flight, should the engine not be pointing slightly to the right instead of the left? (prop spins clockwise when viewed from behind)

Help!
