Ok, been using my Omni 4000 for around 1 week flat out, have tried everything to minimize my tip dry problem, all to no avail

So last night after another trial session, I removed the nozzle and needle etc to give it all a good cleaning and remove any paint residue, but when I reassembled it, I looked straight down the guts of the AB with the needle partially inserted, and noticed it was on an angle.

While looking at it face on, trigger at the top, the needle has a strange pull just off centre, and slightly upwards towards the left. I thought it was how I had inserted it, so did it again, same thing.
Maybe needle was bent, so I spun the AB around and looked at it from the rear, and it was bending slightly downwards and to the left.
With the nozzle in place, looking at the action while drawing back the needle, it opens up 3/4's of the nozzle, kinda like a crescent moon look.
I had a Teflon bearing installed into this AB before I received it, so I'm wondering if maybe it is crooked?
Or is this a normal thing for AB's to do??
