Tough to help, I had one a few weeks back where one limb twisted regardless of what I did. Problem with those narrow tips is you can't just move one nock across.
Sorry not much help. Maybe turn it up the other way so the string is biased towards centre shot (or give it to a leftie
)

You could been it in the handle. As long as it's not to bad and it's on the side your shooting from. I usely leave it if it's for me or someone that not concerned with the looks. It just makes your bow a little more center shot. If it's tiller right I would matter only in looks. You could have broth it in line some but not all the way sence it's perrty far out of line. I LIKE THE HANDLE IN THE FIRST PHOTO.

Short pyramid bows can cause a problem with string alignment. In your first pic, is the left limb, the one coming off the deep handle, the top limb? Its not bending as much through the handle and looks like it might be a little "flat" at mid-limb.

I forgot to ask if either limb is twisting. If one of the limbs are twisting you can try scraping a little off the belly, only from the side opposite the twist, and only from the handle to about 8 or 10 inches up the limb. This might help with string alignment. Also check to make sure the string grooves are cut equally. Hope this helps.
