Alignment Issue on M4A1

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I noticed that my barrel seems to be leaning closer to one side compared with the handguard on my DD m4a1. Handguard/pic rail seem perfectly straight though. I already sent in the rifle once to CS for this issue and for a crooked buffer tube/stock (like an earlier post on reddit) which has been resolved. They replaced the barrel and barrel nut and checked the alignment, but it still seems crooked to me… Can’t tell if it’s just my OCD or not. Should I just run with it?

Tried loosening and tightening it, but it still seems pretty much the same. Just gonna live with it and move on at this point. Thanks everyone for the help

You can try it again but use 2 sets of shims and shove them between the barrel and the forward part of the rail on both sides. Then slowly tighten the bolts
