does this sound correct to you experience bow owners?
my arrow when rest on the arrow rest and the end is click onto the string, the front of the arrow looks a bit tilted downward. Should it be straight flat front to back?

The arrow should be perpendicular to the string or perhaps slightly nock high. If it is nock high, it should be barely noticable with the naked eye. Can you use a level to check? Or, maybe put an arrow on the string and stand back to view it.
Do you know if your bow is a binary cam system? Generally, binaries are set-up with the arrow level when the string is plum (perpendicular). I believe single cams are often set-up nock high but my limited experience is with binaries.

Get yourself a bowsquare and check your nock point. If you're new to bow tuning, stop by your local bowshop and they can show you how to set nock height. From dead-level to up to 1/4 high is the normal range of nock settings depending on bow.

What kind of arrow rest do you have? Does the rest move up when you draw the bow? My rest (limbdriver) is down when the bow is not at full draw and the arrow would be laying on the shelf and pointing down. When the bow is drawn the rest raises up and that is when I get the level arrow the others are mentioning. If you have a static rest and not a dropaway then disregard.
