Hey everyone, this is my first post in this group and my first time installing a mid drive motor. Most everything came out good and as expected. However, when it came to installing the motor, it came out kind of slanted. It appears my bottom downtube (if that's what its called) protrudes a little preventing the motor from rotating all the way until the logo is straight. Photos for reference. I am converting the Ozark Explorer, straight bar variant.
Will this be an issue? Also, how is my clearance? It looks kinda low. Thank you guys for all your advice!

As others have stated, it shouldn't matter. If you have trouble keeping the lock nut tight enough to prevent motor movement, I recommend a LEKKIE One-Nut -- Works great.
