Default Cable Bar problem, Mathews Q2 need advice. Pics attached.

I need some help/advice... I own/shoot a Mathews Q2 and wanted to give it a makeover. I completely repainted the bow and cleaned it up over the weekend and most of last week. The Q2 has a cable guard that apparently gets epoxied at the factory. Little did I know that the side screw wasn't the main support holding the guard in place.

While trying to get the old cable guard out I ruined it. I had to break the guard off and drill the remain section out with a 3/8 drill bit. My trouble started when I bought a aftermarket Cobra cable guard. I had to come up with a solution to get the Cobra guard to mount into my drilled out hole. I took a fully thread screw and used a 2 part epoxy to set the screw. After letting it dry for about an hour I screwed and glued the new cable guard into the exposed thread sticking out from the riser.

Instead of aligning the offset cable guard straight up and down I had to mount it with the offset/elbow facing to the right of the riser. After putting the cables in the slide and mounting the slide on the cable guard the cable guard has a slight inward angle. I think because I didn't allow the epoxy enough time to set and the tension pulled the bar to the left. So, what I have is a cable guard that is a little far right and not in line with the vertical riser. This thing is set in stone and I want to know if this will effect the bow? I was hoping someone could offer their opinion. Not knowing about the significance of the position or offset of the guard I am a little nervous. Here are the pictures, I'm hoping it looks alright because I have no Idea how I'd get the bar out and fixed....
