Slight angle on the neck, problem?

Hey guys!
After about 8 months of gathering materials and a lot of contemplation I think I'm done with my first pot still!
The last part for me was the easy flange which was probably the hardest part lol. Anyway, I noticed that after I connected the keg to the copper neck with a triclamp (with a cartboard and ptfe tape in between) the neck comes out with a slight tilt when secured.
I will be doing the vinegar run in the next few weeks, where of course I will check for any vapor leaks. Provided there aren't any, do you guys see any problem with this?
For the record I think the problem is that the keg's mouth isn't totally straight I think, I put a straight cut piece of 2" pipe on top of it and it still had the same tilting issue. Or maybe it's something I haven't noticed yet, anyway here are the visual references.
