Don't sweat it. I've seen original cloth in a well cared for Philco (not one that was "barn fresh" in which the cloth has obviously shrunk) that was applied crooked at the factory. I've also seen a few original PHILCO decals that were applied crooked at the factory.

These things were being built fast to sell fast, and perfection wasn't always the goal - just making production on time.
