Installed new Steer Smarts tie rod. Driver side is canted.

I assume this is not a good thing.

Remedy?

It appears you need to loosen the clamp bolt on that side and rotate the tie rod end clockwise until it is parallel. Then tighten clamp bolt.
 
My Synergy didn't, supposed to align it to mounting point on knuckle, tighten, then lock down clamp bolt.
Synergy does offer a few for their Rods that are Single Plane… Moog, RPM, Currie, Barnes sell standard Rod Ends that move in both directions.
