I would suspect if you removed the airflow meter, you would find wear at the pivot bearing surface to cause the lateral displacement. If your solution works, that would certainly save replacing a very expensive part. It is safe to say the plate should not rub anywhere the venturi sides, and centered laterally would be the design spec.
