I replaced my alternator this afternoon (totally cooked! couldn't even spin it by hand, it was almost fire and destruction in those last few miles getting home, screeeching, scratching, and just bloody aweful noise and burning smells)...
Mine also looks a bit tilted 3-5 degrees too, but remember the bushings are being compressed with the tension of the belts, so you could back off a bit on how tight the belts are. that's what I did, but also my bushings looked a bit soft.
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
