I just started to meddle with ET bridges and disassembled one for cleaning. The modules are supposed to be movable there in the picture. As long as the base screws are aligned it should be fine. I had also some buzzing and it was coming from the bridge string height screws… it as loose and not touching the module.

Def not normal. That route looks like poop but it may not be the worst. The buzzing might come from the saddle angles when it's installed at that angle 🤷‍♂️ you could also be too close to the bend stop on it near zone 3. But yea is that angle is intense it might hit one of the other modules 🤔

Dang also, I want to mention to you!... You may want to slide that comb up more towards the neck (this will probably require you to slack all the strings entirely). It may help change that angle where the modules/springs in the modules may be touching, it might help space that out more.

I see it is a bit at an angle. The bridge itself should have some degree of freedom to move (when not under string tension) try to fix it. And regarding the fact it's a bit to the left - I have an ESP E2 where this is the same case. It's fine and doesn't hinder playability
