Upper shock mounts not centered......

So I've been fixing all the previous owners mistakes on my newly acquired 71 c10. One of them was some very junky blown out rear shocks mounted in the factory location when the truck has a 6" rear drop. So I ordered up some shock relocation brackets for the rear, and a set of ride tech single adjustable shocks for the front and rear. I installed the shock relocation brackets and got my new shocks bolted in when I realized something. The factory upper shock mounts are NOT centered on the frame cross member. The only reason I took notice is because I saw my rear shocks were extended different lengths as seen in the pictures. Then I noticed that one mount is closer to the frame rail on one side than the other. Does anyone know why the factory did this? Will this cause any issues? Thanks in advance!
