I'll probably be replacing that frame soon anyways, I guess that's just another thing to look out for.
How weird... I don't understand what would be the purpose of making the rack-mounting holes non-symmetrical. What model bike is this?

In any case, as long as the rack works, it works. Having it leaning slightly shouldn't weaken it too much for everyday use.
