Off center BMW Performance SSK - Is this normal?

I got my short shifter installed today at a local BMW performance shop. The guy charged me a great rate and he came recommended. However, I went and picked up my car and the shifter is off center. It leans to the right. I drove home, and it shifted fine, but neutral is way off. 1st gear is almost where neutral was before the short shifter. I called the guy up and he said it was normal and that if he had installed it any other way, it would have been too high or something. Anyways, is this normal? Or should neutral be in the same position as stock? He seemed like a good guy and I hate to have to bring it back in with problems, but I want it to be right! Thanks for any help.
Here's a pic with the shifter in neutral (sorry for the lighting).
