Default Engine box question?

Ok guys lets see if I can ask this right. I bought a Thunder Tiger 50cc Yak 54 this past weekend at a great deal. Had a fellow getting out of the hobby and was selling all his stuff. The yak that I bought has the landing gear on and he had started the engine box. My question is the plate that he glued up front is 5 inchs on the right side and just over 5 inchs on the left. For you guys that have built these size planes is there suppose to be more offset for right thrust? And yes I do have metal brackets to bolt the front plate to the ply coming out of the fuse. Also is there any down thrust that needs to be added. I ask because a fellow at the field said that as long as I had the spinner centered in the cowl opening I will be fine. Thanks.

This will be my first 50cc plane so I don't want to do it wrong.

that is the norm on most ARF's today,it should work out to a 2 degrees off set to the right.
they are a nice flying plane.
