I looked inside the barrel when cleaning and I noticed the hop rubber is tilted (with less hop on the right than the left side).

I ended up trying 2 TM original buckings, 1 Nine Ball and the one you get with the Nova hop unit and they all started to tilt at about the 40% mark. Bending the arm didn't help, it only made the hop stick into the barrel more (don't feel like tuning the arm instead of the wheel when setting my hop) and thinking I might have bent it so many times I had messed it up I ordered new 2 hop arms from ProG4.

When I received the order I noticed that the two arms were bent differently. I tried them both with the TM buckings but it didn't fix the problem.

Am I doing anything wrong? Is it perhaps supposed to be tilted? I really have no idea what to do at this point other than bending the arm the right amount until it it's straight with the amount of hop that fits my bbs.

EDIT: Seems like the ProG4 arms are too narrow for the Nova hop brass unit so there's a lot of play for the arm to move. The stock arm fits in snug and keeps the rubber nub straight, I guess I should've expected that when mixing brands.
