Bridge pin slots of my guitar: are they an issue... or not?

Since two weeks I am the happy owner of a new Yamaha LL16 all solid wood acoustic guitar, personally chosen at my local store for great tone, action, playability and, also, beautiful look ! Yesterday I was replacing the strings and I noticed for the first time that the six bridge slots for the bridge pins are cut slightly at an angle, so that when I insert the six pins back, they sit slightly tilted to the right (photos attached) As far as I can judge, there is no negative effect on the guitar's sound, but....should I be concerned ?
Your opinion is welcome, thanks !

I imagine that you really need to be looking from the angle of this photograph to see this.  It is probably not perceptible from any other angle.  The job of the pins in to hold the ball ends of the strings in place.  If they are doing that job, and the look of it is not bothering you, you don't have a problem.
