Should an OEM TPS need to be turned open a bit to install?

Took my TPS off and when I was putting it back on I noticed the throttle body blade is straight up and down, but the TPS opening isn't. The TPS had to be opened against the TPS spring a bit to make it line up with the throttle body blade.

Is this normal? Doesnt that give the computer a false reading because it is starting slightly open rather than completely closed like the throttle body is?

The after market new one I chose to return was already lined up without having to open the TPS slightly to line it up.
