I think if the angled injector holder is put on a centered ball then the ball will not act as an atomizer. The result could be like an injector with a bad spray pattern.
The drawings refer to the 60x engines. Those PC are different.
The angled 616 PC definitely has a centred ball with the flat turned compared to the "old" version where the flat of the ball points towards the burn hole.
The ball (with its axis) seems to be the same as used in the old version, but the axis is turned, no offset.
