Default thrust line question

Hello all-
1/4 scale Dynaflight Flybaby- Saito 100
I scratch built a cowl, and I was a bit long- so instead of cutting the cowl, I added a 1/4 inch piece to my motor mount. In doing so, I threw the thrust line off center to the right by about 3/16. This plane already has about 3 degrees right thrust built in-
How critical is that 3/16 off the center thrust line? Suggestions? Or should I not sweat it? Comments appreciated-
Cheers,
Brett
