Albi, I have seen more than a few frames that have the brazed-on bosses off-center from the factory.

If the wheel is centered, the only other fix for the brakes is to swap the washers around. Look closely and you will see that there is a thick and a thin pair of domed washers. Swap them around until the brake arms are relatively upright and parallel. Sometimes you can add a few extra to get the brakes straight. I save the extras when I swap pads to fix this very issue.
