DA Aqua-Master on USD doubles manifold.

O.K., silly me, I thought that the U.S. Divers DA Aqua-Master would have been meant and designed for use on the U.S. Diver 3-piece doubles manifold.
I just finished cleaning and reassembling a USD J-valved manifold (the three piece type), all excited that it could replace my non-J-valved one on my twin 38s at their next visual. The manifold on the tanks presently has the yoke up/handle down. So, I was also pretty excited about the prospect of also putting the yoke down and getting the reg lower on my back. For fun, I thought I'd see how the reg looked on the manifold and I attached it. That hookah cap was hitting the doggon connecting nut on the manifold crossover and there is no way for the DA to sit straight on that manifold with the yoke down. BUMMER!
Is it common on this configuration to have the reg rotated to one side? What gives?

Now I feel better. 
I guess a tilted reg is the vintage vogue
