Go look at another set on the rack and see if any others are like that.

It was only 1 plug out of 4 that was off-center.
I'm just wondering if its critical or if anyone ever noticed this themselves.

I wouldn't mess around with it. Bring it back and change it.

+1 Platinum plugs are a couple giant steps backward from Iridium plugs. Consider taking them back for the Iridium plugs.

Either way DON'T USE THAT DEFECTIVE PLUG !!!
