Canti link wire 'boss' not centered?

Have a pair of new Avid Shorty 4 cantis, and I've set them up correctly as far as I can remember from the last time I dealt with cantis, back in 1996 or so

The front wheel is aligned OK, the brakes are an even distance from the rim, but the boss on the link wire is off to one side. Is this normal? Since it's a link wire, there's not much I can do to adjust it, but it just looks like something isn't right...

Is this normal?

The best picture I could snap with the phone and poor lighting, but you can see that it's a good 5-8mm off to the right, going by the center hole on the fork:
