No picture so I can't tell.
Gas blocks have enlarged holes to allow for a bit of misalignment with the gas port on the barrel. There's a limit, of course. But technically it doesn't have to be dead nuts aligned over the port. |

Run it. If it functions consistently, don't give it another thought.

As stated the gas block has an oversized hole and probably isnt impacted, the gas tube can bind on the gas key if it's real bad but if it doesn't, it doesn't.

Based on your picture, the gas block seems fine to me. As others said, if it works, then it is fine. There is a margin of error allowed. I usually use a can of compressed air to test the gas tube. I would put a straw in the gas tube in the receiver end. You can hear the air in the barrel and also smell orange since they put it in the can for some reason (guessing it's to keep people from inhaling it). |
