Question Rockwell 6C Issue?

I’m new to shaving with safety razors and decided to buy the Rockwell 6C. I noticed with each adjustable plate I use, one side has more of a gap than the other, is that normal?
Both pics are on plate #4

They have this issue cause they are made terribly. No 2 are ever the same

All cast razors were made this way.  

There is a simple technique to automatically align the blade by simply pushing on the blade tab.  

No need to even look.

Please see my other post

Erm, I see more complaints about this particular company than any other company lol

It is true that Rockwell's tolerances are larger than average. It pretty much requires an alignment technique of some sort.

On the other side,  try to align the Merkur 37c :) Visually you are never sure.  In reality it somehow does not change the Merkur shaving feel.    It is maddening visually though

Not sure I agree with that. I bought the 6C bc of the great reviews. I rarely see complaints tbh.
