Thanks everyone, especially the first response. I know understand. I rotated the inner crank so it all aligns and it seems to work fine on my ride this morning. I did get 1 chain drop but that's because I still need to fine tune the FD adjustments.

One thing of note. I know that changing chainrings is not too common but those chainring bolts Shimano provides are horrible. I stripped 1 and almost stripped 2 trying to, first, unscrew them and second, trying to get the right torque on them when redoing them. Luckily, I had some of the same size that the PM came with to use temporarily because those are not as long. I will get some replacements and re-do those bolts the next time I do maintenance down there.
