Default Paper Tune: Left Tear

Could someone please explain how to correct a left tear in paper tuning? Some tuning guides I' ve seen recommend moving the arrow rest or centershot to the right or towards the bow, while others recommend moving the rest to the left. Which is it? To me, if the arrow is traveling knock left, then it must be leaving the bow pointing slightly to the right. If this is the case shouldn' t the fix be to move the arrow rest to the left or away from the bow? (This is assuming a right handed archer)

Does the direction you move your rest depend on whether you shoot fingers or a mechanical release?

I am currently shooting a Mathews Q2 with a shoot thru prong rest (Nap Quicktune 1000). I shoot 70 lbs, 29" draw, a release, and use easton super slams 2315s. I have always noticed significantly more wear on my right prong silencer than my left, even when I have achieved perfect bullet holes.

How should I fix my left tear?
