Default Is this bad? (lift related)

Got up under my jeep to check things out a couple weeks after I did my Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift and saw this on the rear spring. I don't know if it just settled weird or what, but it didn't look that originally. I don't know what you call that thing that's pointed off to the side, (i've been calling it a nipple ). But it's not close to touching the coil. Do you think it's ok to leave it that way? Or should I pop the coil off and re-adjust so it points straight down?

probably should re-adjust it back the way it's supposed to be....that's the spring retainer, and no it shouldn't look like that....have you flexed it since the install? maybe while flexed it shifted or something....

A nipple clamp should do the trick.
