does this answer your question?
I think he's referring more to the fact that ideal shackle angle is around 45* to the rear. Here's mine when I still had stock shackles and AALs:


I don't know why yours sit upright like that.. I guess because of the arch of the springs. Once you get some weight on them and flex them out it should get better though.
