Clutch slave piston not lining up straight with trans fork

Edited some pics in now. Am I imagining it? My slave and my friends probe's slave for comparison.
I have just had to replace the slave as it died after only about 18 months. Upon removal the internals had worn down heaps on one side and it eventually blew it's guts out, it was very strange. So I replaced it with a new unit and looking at the where the piston hits the trans fork, it looks out of alignment, like the clutch fork needs to move further in towards the trans for it to be straight.
Perhaps this is why the old slave died? Pushing on an angle for a prolonged time. It works and the car drives fine though. Not sure what I can do about it.
Car is an MX-3 KLZE with MX-6 trans and has an Xtreme (australian company) clutch kit. My friend has the same type of trans and clutch kit in his Probe and it's all straight on his car...
