Default torsion bar question.?

hello all.. i was under my truck this past weekend looking around under the truck and i noticed that one of my torsion screws is crooked. when i first started messing with them they both pointed str8 down.. now driver side is at a slight angle.. so much that the rachet i use is at an angle.. is there something wrong? i also noticed that one of my torsion bar key is maxed out and one as alot more to go down??? is ths normal? it looks like the driver side has about one turn left to be all the way lowered and the pass side has about 5-6 turns left to lower?. truck sits level.. also i have hd keys.. thanks..

Which direction is it angled, side to side, or front to back? Pictures would be helpful.
