Universal Tool Support Not Square to Stone

I just unpacked my T7, installed the stone, conditioned the honing wheel and after checking to see if the UTS was parallel with the stone I used the turing tool to get it straight. I then moved my UTS to the lower holes and noticed that it wasn't parallel to the stone. I can make it parallel if I pull one side of the support slightly out of the support hole and lock it but that does not seem right. Is there a way to adjust the lower or upper UTS support holes so that they are parallel to the stone? Or do I have a bad UTS?

Loosen the screws that hold the horizontal support (keep one sort of snug) and adjust as needed. That's usually very carefully done at the factory, but occasionally one isn't quite perfect. There's significant adjustment in the mounting holes.
